Contenta Object Definitions

The PcmObjects file contains Contenta object definitions followed by a list of its property sheet fields.

The objects you define in this file are those into which you want to import data. Each object definition contains three fields delimited by a pipe ( | ) as follows:

FieldDescription
Object NameThe case-sensitive name of the object as it appears in PcmAdmin.
Object Class

The Contenta object class.

For custom objects, this is the object on which the custom object was based when created.

DescriptionA description of the object (user-defined).

The object definitions constitute the entities for the PCM Object list field (under the Mappings tab).

Example:

You can edit the file to modify the list of objects and/or the property sheet fields for each, or you can use the Activity menu to automatically modify the list; it adds all compound base type objects and their property sheet fields to the PCMObjects file.
