Associating Taxonomy to Object Types

You can access this page only if you have the Use the Administration UI permission in CentraSite. Also, you can associate taxonomy to object types only if you have the Manage Taxonomies permission.

Note:
This functionality applicable only to CentraSite Control has been marked as deprecated and is removed in a future release.

You can associate a taxonomy to multiple object types. When you do this, you can classify objects of the specified types with the associated taxonomy.

The following general guidelines apply when associating a taxonomy with multiple object types:

You can either select the check boxes for the object types individually, or select them all by using the All Object Types check box.

By default, CentraSite displays the All Object Types check box as selected. When this check box is selected, the check boxes for the list of object types are automatically displayed as selected and disabled.

This default selection does not associate the taxonomy with the selected object types. Instead, it only allows the taxonomy to be applied to the selected object types (that is, CentraSite allows you to classify the selected object types using the taxonomy).

If you clear the All Object Types check box and select ALL of the object types as selected, then there does not exist an association and the taxonomy is applicable to all of the selected object types.

If you clear the All Object Types check box and the list of ALL the object types, then there does not exist an association and the taxonomy is still applicable to all the object types.

Therefore, to associate a taxonomy with one or more object types, you must:

2. Select the check box of the object types that you want to associate with the taxonomy.

2. Right-click a taxonomy that you want to associate with the object types, and click Details.

4. In the Applicable to Object Types tab, select one or multiple object types to associate with this taxonomy.

Note:
To associate a taxonomy with all of the asset types (including new asset types that might be added to the registry in the future), select the All Object Types option. Note that this option associates the taxonomy with asset types only. It does not associate a taxonomy with non-asset types, such as Organizations, and Users, that can also be used with the taxonomy.
