Assigning an Information Type Attribute

Summary

The Info Type function assigns an Information Type attribute to

• a Map 
• one or more Blocks, or 
• both a Map and the Blocks.

When to use

The Info Type function can be used to tag the Maps and/or blocks so they can be more easily located in a content management system.

Example: You want to update your company's procedures, so you search for all the content containing the "Procedure" attribute.

Procedure

Select the Information Type attribute that you want to assign the Map or Block from the Info Type drop-down menu of the Information Mapping ribbon group.

Result: The Information Type attribute is assigned to your Map or Block.

Viewing the attribute in the Outline pane
