CentraSite is installed with a number of predefined asset types. Some of these types are "core types" that belong to CentraSite itself. You can modify these types as described in Modifications You Can Make to CentraSite's Core Asset Types.
Other predefined types are installed to support the use of CentraSite by products such as the webMethods Product Suite. These types belong to other products, which expect the type definitions to remain unchanged. Modifying or deleting these types in CentraSite can lead to inconsistencies or errors in the product that uses the type. For example, if you modify or delete a type that is used by the webMethods Product Suite, components such as the webMethods Integration Server may no longer be able to publish assets to CentraSite. You must not modify these predefined asset types.
The table in The Predefined Types Installed with CentraSite indicates which of the predefined types are core types that belong to CentraSite and which belong to other products such as the webMethods Product Suite.
The following table identifies the predefined asset types that are installed with CentraSite and indicates to which product they belong.

The following describes the ways in which you can customize the core asset types that belong to CentraSite.
You can modify the type's existing properties and options (other than Schema Name, Namespace and Base Type (for virtual types only)).
Note:
Although CentraSite allows you to change the display name of the
predefined types, we recommend that you do not do this. Name changes might lead
to problems with future upgrades of CentraSite.
You can add custom attributes to any type other than the predefined virtual types.
You can edit the options for existing attributes of any type other than the predefined virtual types.
You can add profiles, delete profiles, edit profiles and rearrange the order of profiles in the type.
You cannot delete any of the predefined attributes that belong to the type. You can, however, delete custom (i.e. user-defined) attributes that belong to the type.
You cannot modify the inherited profiles and attributes of the predefined virtual types.
