group

Defines a content type group. Content type groups are used by Content Studio for two purposes:

  • To group the content types displayed in the File > New menu, making the menu easier to navigate. (Note, however, that this is only done for groups that contain more than one content type.)

  • To display buttons in the Search panel that can be used to filter search results. When one of the filter group buttons is selected in Content Studio, search results are filtered to show only content items of the types in the group.

    Groups that contain ref-opensearch elements may also contain search results from an external system.

The group's child ref-content-type and ref-opensearch elements reference the content types and/or OpenSearch external search definitions that belong to the group.

Syntax
