Excluding Sub Types from CentraSite Business UI Search
You can customize the (base) type definition to exclude its sub types by using the Exclude sub types option in the Edit Asset Type - Advanced Settings dialog box in CentraSite Control.
To exclude sub types in the (base) type definition, you must have the Manage Asset Types permission.
Note:
By default, users with the CentraSite Administrator role and Asset Type Administrator role have this permission.
The Exclude sub types option for a base type determines whether instances of its (derived) sub types should be displayed in the CentraSite Business UI. You can enable or disable this option for each base type. When you enable this option, Business UI omits instances of its sub types from the Search Results page so users cannot search for such instances. When you disable this option, Business UI includes the instances of its sub types in the Search Results page.
