Displays a report of all descendant Content Types for the current Content Type, including key statistics for each type.

Remarks

The Derived Types report provides a hierarchical summary of all Content Types that inherit from the selected Content Type. It is designed to help users understand the structure, specialization, and configuration of document types within a Content Model or Content Category.

This report lists each descendant Content Type along with important metrics, such as the number of contained nodes, custom data elements, defined labels, and property overrides. It is especially useful for auditing inheritance, managing document type complexity, and identifying configuration needs across a taxonomy.

Report Layout and Features

• Header:
  Displays the total number of derived Content Types.
• Table:
  Each row represents a descendant Content Type and includes:
  • Name: The display path of the type, shown as a clickable link for navigation.
  • Kind: The type of Content Type (e.g., Document Type, Content Category).
  • Nodes: The total number of objects (nodes) contained within the type.
  • Elements: The number of custom data elements defined for the type.
  • Labels: The number of labels in the type's Label Set.
  • Overrides: The number of property overrides applied to the type.
• Totals Row:
  Sums for 'Nodes', 'Elements', 'Labels', and 'Overrides' across all descendant types.
• Navigation:
  Clicking a Content Type link opens its configuration in the design interface for further review or editing.

Usage Guidance

• Use this report to visualize the inheritance structure and specialization of Content Types in your solution.
• Review the 'Elements', 'Labels', and 'Overrides' columns to identify types that may require further configuration or maintenance.
• Click any Content Type link to jump directly to its configuration for detailed inspection or editing.
• The totals row provides a quick summary of the overall complexity and customization present in the descendant types.
