How do I create or configure a content type?
When you configure a new action with the Widgets and Live Text wizards, you can configure new or existing content types, and optionally wire them to new or existing recognizers, within a widget action. You can also configure and publish content types independently of their inclusion in a widget.
About this task
Content types can be wired to act with recognizers for a specific action. You can see and act on other actions, content types, and recognizers in the Widget Management view by clicking Manage Actions, Content Types, and Recognizers from the My Widgets options menu.
Procedure
-
Click Configure Content Type from the My Widgets options
menu.
Note: You can also configure new content types using the Content Types tab in the Widget Management view. As well, when you use the wizards to create widgets, you can optionally open the Configure a Content Type dialog while configuring the new widget.
-
Enter a new content name, for example Address.
This name appears in the Widget Management view's Content Types tab in the Display Name field and on the Recognizer tab in the Content Type Name field.
-
Add a property name, such as content.address.
The property name can be wired to a recognizer name using the Create a Recognizer dialog.
This name appears in the Widget Management view's Content Types tab in the ID field and in the Recognizer tab in the Content Type ID field.
- Optional: Optionally add additional property names for this content type name.
- Click OK.
