Preface

Custom Types


Documentum provides a large number of built-in object types that support the functionality of the platform. Some object types are general purpose and can be used for business purposes as well. However, all possible business needs can neither be anticipated nor supported by default. Therefore, Documentum allows creation of new object types, which are called custom types. This chapter addresses creation and management of custom types.

Note

Before reading this chapter, it would be helpful to revisit Objects and Types (Chapter 3) since the majority of the concepts pertaining to object types apply here as well. The concepts repeated here are explained in more detail in Chapter 3.
