8.4 Configuring Object Types

Object types define the types of items storage locations can hold.

If you select an object type that is not allowed for the assigned storage location, an error message is displayed and you cannot check in the physical item. Object types can hold other object types. For example, the predefined Box object type can hold the following predefined object types: Folder, Optical, Micro, Document, and Tape. Relationships between object types are defined on the Edit Object Type Relationships Page .
