Managing Site-level Types and Type-specific Attributes

Using the Type and Attribute Management utility from Site

> Utilities, you can define object types and type-specific attributes to make available to all organizations in the system. For example, a company might define a change impact report document type with specific attributes for several categories, including replacement cost, production tooling cost, and so forth.

You can define types and attributes within a context of an organization. When subtypes and attributes are created within an organization context, they are kept separate from all other organizations and remain private to the organization they are created in. For more information about types and attributes, see Working with the Type and Attribute Management Utility.

You can associate document types with life cycles which identify the various states of maturity of the document. For more information about life cycles, see Life Cycles.
