Working with the Type and Attribute Management Utility
The
Type and Attribute Management utility allows site administrators to manage type and attribute definitions. This utility can be accessed by clicking the
Type and Attribute Management link under
Administrative on the home page. Users with the appropriate
permissions can create, edit, or remove types or attributes. Additionally, administrators can associate attribute definitions with type definitions, and constrain the values of those attributes.
The navigation pane on the left side of the Type and Attribute Management window provides access to the following components:
• Manage Types—Allows you to create new subtypes of those products, materials and documents installed with your solution. Attributes and attribute layouts for each type are also managed from this component.
• Manage Global Enumerations—Allows you to create, edit, and delete value lists for use by attributes.
The navigation pane can be opened, closed, and resized. The name of the current user displays at the top of the navigation pane.
For information about command-line utilities used for managing types and attributes, see the
Type and Attribute Management Command-Line Tools reference topics.
