To view the list of asset types
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Administration > Types.
2. To filter the list to see just a subset of the available asset types, type a partial string in the Search field.
CentraSite applies the filter to the Name column. The Search field is a type-ahead field, so as soon as you type any characters, the display is updated to show only those types whose name contains the specified characters. The wildcard character % is supported.
If you type... | CentraSite Displays |
b | Names that contain b |
bar | Names that contain bar |
% | All names |
The Type Management page provides the following information about each asset type:
Column | Description |
Name | The name of the asset type. |
Description | A short description about the asset type. |
You can adjust the view to show or hide the individual column by using the Select Columns icon that is located in the upper-right corner of the Type Management page.
The shortcut menu of a particular asset type displays one or more actions that you can perform on that type.
Action | Description |
Details | Displays the details page of the asset type. |
Delete | Deletes the asset type. |
Export | Exports the asset type from the registry to an archive file on the file system. |
