Manage Content Types
Use this application to specify the types of electronic content (typically documents) that can be linked from a third-party Content Management System (CMS) to a specific Costpoint data record.
After defining a content type, you can use the Manage Application/Content Links screen to link it to one or more Costpoint applications. For example, you could link a scanned PDF of a vendor invoice to the Costpoint accounts payable voucher record it was used to generate. You could also link other content, such as engineering drawings or video work instructions, to an assembly part or routing record in Costpoint.
You can specify which CMS holds the content and where the content can be found in the CMS. If content for a particular content type is stored completely in one CMS location and no user or user group access rights are defined, the CMS information that you enter here is the sole source of content files for this content type. If you store files for this content type in multiple CMS locations (that is, a different CMS, repository, content type, and/or base folder) or if you assign rights to view and link the content files, the CMS values in this screen serve only as defaults for the CMS Locations subtask.
