How to enable Disable Asset Types in Webcenter Sites?


This blog explains about how to enable asset types in Webcenter sites.

What is Asset and Asset Type in Webcenter Sites ?

An asset is an object that is stored in the WebCenter Sites database, an object that can be created, edited, inspected, deleted, duplicated, placed into workflow, tracked through revision tracking, searched for, and published to your delivery (live) site.
An asset type is a definition or specification that determines the characteristics of asset objects of that type.
Developers design and create asset types while designing your content management system and your online sites. Content providers then create and edit assets of those types
In general, assets perform one of the following three roles:
  • Provide content that visitors read and examine on your online sites
  • Provide the formatting logic or code for displaying the content
  • Provide data structure for storing the content in the WebCenter Sites database

- Login to Webcenter sites as a Admin role, Click on 'Show Left Hand Navigation' Arrow on top menu, You will see a tab called 'Admin' and click on 'List All Sites' as shown below.


- Select the site for which you want to enable specific asset type
- Select 'Enable Asset Type' button as shown below
