Create a subclass

With subclassing, you can customize class behavior by adding additional properties to the properties already in the class. When the subclass has been successfully created, it will appear in the Enterprise Manager tree under the node of the class that is its superclass.

There are several ways to create a subclass of one of the Content Engine's built-in or user-defined classes:

From a pop-up menu

From a pop-up menu (Document class)
