Content types enable you to classify content within a ViewApp. Content assigned to a pane can be shown or hidden during runtime based on whether the assigned graphic content type matches the content type of the pane or not. This mutual association between a pane and a graphic content type is restrictive in that it limits the content that can appear in a pane to a specific subset content types. With some exceptions, a pane can only host defined content types from the available graphics that match the content type.
There are exceptions to content type matching:
-
Panes can be assigned the Select All content type, which matches any type of graphic content. The pane can show any type of graphic content.
-
Graphics can be assigned the All content type, which matches any type of pane content. The graphic can be shown in any type of pane.
-
Graphics and panes can be assigned multiple content types.
The selected content types appear in a comma-delimited list in both the Industrial Graphic Editor and Layout Editor.
