Use the procedure in this section to view or edit a virtual type. When editing a predefined virtual type, keep the following points in mind:
You cannot modify the type's base type attribute. This property is set when the type is created and cannot be changed thereafter.
Virtual types inherit their attributes from their base type Service object. You cannot directly add attributes to, delete attributes from, or edit the properties of an attribute in a virtual type. To make these kind of modifications, you must edit the base type. For more information about virtual types, see Virtual Types.
You can add, modify, delete, rename and reorganize the profiles associated with a virtual type at any time. However, you cannot modify or delete the profiles that are inherited from the type's base type.
To view or edit a virtual type
In CentraSite Control, go to > .
By default, all of the available types are displayed in the tab.
If you want to filter the list to see just a subset of the available types, enter 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 enter any characters, the display will be updated to show only those types whose name contains the specified characters. The wildcard character "%" is supported.
In the tab, click the name of the virtual type that you want to view or edit.
If you want to view or edit the properties of the virtual type, click and modify the basic attributes in the wizard as required.
If you want to view or edit the Inherit Base Type Profiles, Inherit Base Type Policies and Inherit Base Type LCM options, click Advanced Settings and modify the settings in the Advanced Settings dialog box as needed. For additional information about the settings in this dialog box, see the descriptions for these settings in Creating a New Type.
If you want to add or edit the profiles for the virtual type, see Defining Profiles for an Asset Type.
Click to save the updated type.
