Updating Registry Objects
You can update a Assets and Registry Objects in the Details Editor when the object's definition is displayed.
*To update a registry object
1. Depending on the Changing Preference Settings you have defined for the CentraSite Details editor, single-click or double-click a registry object in a CentraSite view to open the editor.
2. Use the Details Editor for Registry Objects to modify the object's details. The tabs that are displayed depend on the object's type. See below for hints on how to update the definition.
3. Save the changed definition, for example, by selecting File > Save from the main menu or by typing Ctrl+S.
In the CentraSite Details editor, you use the different tabs for updating Properties of Registry Objects, Associations Between Registry Objects, External Links or Classifications of Registry Objects of the registry object:
*Use the Object-Specific Properties, Associations, External Links or Classifications tab if no Attributes exists that maps to the property, the association, the external link or classification you want to create, modify or remove.
*Use the set of custom profiles that is visible for the object to create, modify or remove attributes that map to a property, an association, an external link or a classification. Do not use the tabs for the predefined profiles if corresponding attributes are available in Attributes.
Note the following hints for updating an object's definition:
Mandatory attribute
Attributes marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory. The object's definition cannot be saved without entering a value for these attributes.
Read-only attribute
Attributes can be read-only. The value given for the attribute cannot be changed.
If the attribute has a button next to it, multiple values can be specified. Enter the first value in the field and click . A new line is inserted for entering the next value. You can enter as many values as required.
If the attribute has a button next to it, click it to remove an attribute value you no longer need.
Simple input field
For some attributes, you can type the value directly in the input field. For example, the Description property can be entered directly. If the attribute supports values for different locales, the value you type in the field is stored for the language selected in the Changing Preference Settings.
Input fields offer basic text editing functions such as undo, cut, copy, and paste, that help you entering values.
If the attribute has a button next to it, click it, and update the value in the dialog displayed. For specific properties, for example, the Name and Description properties, you can enter and change values for different locales in this Edit Dialog. Click OK to apply your changes and close the dialog.
If the attribute has a button next to it, click it, and enter a date and/or time in the Select Date and Time Dialog.
If the attribute has a button next to it, its value represents a registry object. For example, the Owner of an object is a registry object of the User type. To enter or change the value, click the button and select the appropriate object in the Select Object Dialog. Click OK to apply your changes and close the dialog.
If the attribute has a button next to it, its value represents an external link. To define the external link, click the button and enter the URL of the external resource that is to become the target of the external link, for example, http://myserver:53305/CentraSite/ino:dav/documents/icons/dbms.gif. Alternatively, you can select a document from the file system of your computer that is to become the target of the external link.
Note:
If you have specified a password-protected document, and the document you want to access requires user authentication, simply enter the username and password in the authentication dialog. This authentication request happens only when you try to access a protected document for the first time.
