Associating Taxonomy to an Object Type

CentraSite Documentation : CentraSite Administrator’s Guide : Taxonomies : Associating Taxonomy to an Object Type

Note:

This functionality applicable only to CentraSite Control has been marked as deprecated and will be 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 type by the associated taxonomy.

To associate a taxonomy to an object type

1. In CentraSite Control, display the details page for the taxonomy you want to associate with object type(s). If you need procedures for this step, see Viewing or Editing the Properties of a Taxonomy.

2. In the Edit Taxonomy page, select the Applicable to Object Types tab. Select the object types that you want to associate with the taxonomy.

When associating the taxonomy with object types, keep the following points in mind:

You can either mark the check boxes for the object types individually, or select them all by checking 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 unmark the All Object Types check box and mark 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 unmark 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:

i. Unmark theAll Object Types check box.

ii. Manually select the check box(es) of the object types that you want to associate with the taxonomy.

3. Click Save.
