CentraSite's isExpandable property allows you to create an expandable/collapsible list of objects (such as taxonomies, lifecycle models, asset types and attributes), that is, to show or hide the list of asset types in a hierarchy view.

For example, you can show only the header for a specific type, say Assets, and display the complete list of assets by clicking on the header.

You can enable the expandable property for a specific asset type by setting the isExpandable property for that particular type in the configuration file. The settings for the isExpandable property are as follows:

Setting this property to “true” will show the header of asset type with an expandable triangle icon. You can click on this icon to expand the type; this reveals the node or nodes in a hierarchy view. To collapse the type, i.e. to hide the node or nodes, click on the triangle icon, and the display reverts to its original state.

Setting this property to “false” will show the header of asset type collapsed. You cannot see the node or nodes of the type.
