Which is an example of a child content type?
Child site content types inherit from the parent content type — Content types that you create are based on a parent content type and thus inherit the attributes of that parent content type. An example of a child content type would be a list content type, based on a parent content type that you apply to a list or library.
In the Select parent content type list, select the parent content type that you want to base your content type on. The list of parent content types differs depending on the Site Content Type group that you selected from the Select parent content type from list.
How is the content type Id related to content type?
The content type ID encapsulates that content type’s lineage, or the line of parent content types from which the content type inherits. Each content type ID contains the ID of the parent content type, which in turn contains the ID of that content type’s parent, and so on, ultimately back to and including the System content type ID.
What happens if I change the content type on a child site?
If you do not have the appropriate access rights to a child site, push-down operations to content types that are contained in that child site fail. For more information about read-only and sealed content types, see Content Type Change Control.
How to enable support for multiple content types?
Content types that have a parent/child relationship with a higher level site can be affected by actions that occur when the parent content type is updated. Open the library for which you want to enable multiple content types. On the ribbon, under Library Tools, click the Library tab In the Settings group, click Library settings.
How to create an ID for a content type?
To create an ID for a content type that is derived from a built-in content type, start with the hexadecimal string that identifies the built-in content type, append two zeros, and then add a GUID with all the punctuation removed. For example, the hexadecimal string that identifies the Item content type is “0x01”.
What happens when you create a new content type?
The new site content type you create inherits all of the attributes of its parent site content type, such as its columns, workflows, and document templates. After you create the new site content type, you can make changes to it, such as adding or removing columns.
