When you specify a content type for a page, you determine how the page will be managed by the Autofill process and the following workspace page display functions:
For example, if the content type for a page is "L1" (a level one page), it will only display in panes that are configured to display L1 content.
Using Content Types, combined with panes that respond to Content Types, will help simplify the maintenance of your system as you will not need to explicitly state where content needs to be shown every time you instruct the system to display a content page. Instead, the system will work this out for itself using your pane configuration and the content type of the page to be displayed.
The content types you can assign to a page are configured in the Visualization activity in Citect Studio (see Content Types).
To assign a content type to a page:
If your project was created using the Situational Awareness Starter project, a default set of content types will be available via the SA_Include project. For a description, see Content Types.
If you need to create a new content type, see Configure Content Types.
