Adding an Association Type
You use the following procedure to define a new association type.
To define a new association type
1. In CentraSite Control, go to Administration > Types. Click the Association Types tab.
2. Click Add Association Type.
3. In the Add Association Type dialog box, specify the following properties:
In this field...
Do the following...
Name
Enter a name for the association type. Be aware that this is the name that will be given to attributes that use this association type. Therefore, the name should be meaningful when used as an attribute name. For example, use an association name such as Developed By, not developer association.
*An association name does not need to be unique within the CentraSite registry. However, to reduce ambiguity, you should avoid giving multiple associations the same name.
*An association name can contain any character (including spaces).
Forward Label
Specify the relationship of the source asset (the one in which the Relationship attribute resides) to one or more specified targets.
If you are not specifying a name for the forward label, then CentraSite will treat the association type name as the forward label.
Reverse Label
Optional. Specify the relationship of the specified targets to the source asset.
4. When you finish setting the association type's properties, click OK.
