Areas, Info Object Classes and Content Types
The Knowledge Warehouse is delivered with the content models for the Training, Documentation, Intranet Management and Management areas. There are a number of info object classes, i.e. types of info objects that can be used to create contents, in each of these areas.
The Management area is used to store navigation structures and other utilities such as macro files for online editing and printing documents with the SAPgui frontend.
Additional
areas and content models can be defined to meet specific requirements.
