Testing a New or Changed Object Type

After creating or modifying an Object type, execute Contenta Explorer to ensure that the modifications are what you expect.

For example, if you create a new Object type:

  1. Start with a Container Object that can create the new Object.
  2. Create the Object: select the appropriate New Object option from the Contenta Explorer File menu.
  3. Check that the icon is displayed for the Object.
  4. If you specified that the Object can contain other Objects, create the Objects within the new Object.
  5. Display and edit the Object’s Property Sheet.
  6. Select Contenta Explorer menu functions assigned to the Object, such as viewing History or attaching Notes.
  7. Execute the application interface tools for the Object.
