Type

Scope

• Content object > Protocol > Type property

Purpose

If development types have been defined by the Enable Now Administrator (or Master Author), this field specifies the development type currently assigned to this content object. Types are typically used to differentiate between different types of development effort (for example, initial development versus updates versus translations) for project management purposes. The Type property is for informational/reporting use only. It does not drive or control anything.

Use

To select a Type, click on the Workflow button on the Properties Toolbar, and then select the required Type in the Change Type field in the Change workflow dialog box. Note that a Workflow process does not need to be assigned to the content object to do this, but the content object must be server-managed.

The list of valid development Change Types is maintained in the Manager via menu option Administration > Types.
