Create a Virtual Type
After Creating the Virtual Type
|
Parent-Child Virtual TypesVirtual Types can be nested, which enables you to think of them in a hierarchical manner. This nesting is beneficial if you use several Virtual Types that should share some information. For example, say you use Picturepark to publish job listings, news items, and partner listings. Each Virtual Type is different, but there are a few pieces of information you want to make sure are included wherever the information is published:
You add these values to "Company Publishing" Virtual Type, and when you create children, they have fields for a copyright notice and Impressum link always available. The default values included in the "Company Publishing" Virtual Type would then be included automatically with all other Virtual Types created in Picturepark. |
Create Virtual ItemsYou create Virtual Items directly in the Content Browser.

Add Layer to Virtual TypeIf a given piece of content requires additional metadata, Layers can be added directly to any Virtual Item e.g. Copyright Information or Event Information when a press release mentions an event.

Search and Filter Virtual TypesThe Virtual Type is saved in a field called: contentSchemaId Therefore you can access the Virtual Type via this field in Display Pattern, Query Filters, or searches.

Layer in Sidebar FilterSome default system fields are available for selection in the Filter editor e.g. permissionSetIds or layerSchemaIds or contentSchemaId.

Use Virtual Type Items to Publish to PortalYou can create Virtual Items for Press Kits, Partner Listings, or News. In order to publish them to a Portal Picturepark proposes the concept for Microsites.
