Content Type

To learn about content types and the Global Content Type Map, click here.

The settings on this page show this content crawler how to assign content types to imported content. When a content crawler finds a new document, it starts at the top of this list and looks for an extension that matches that document. It uses the content type that is mapped to the first matching extension. If it cannot find a matching extension, it does not import the document.

By default, this page is populated with the mappings from the Global Content Type Map. All the mapped file extensions are grouped by the available types of documents; for example, the MIME Type Map displays the mapped file extensions for Web pages and the File Type Map displays the mapped file extensions for files.

You can perform the following actions to change the mappings for this content crawler:


  1. Click Administration.
  2. Open the Content Crawler Editor:
  3. On the left, under Edit Object Settings, click Content Type.
