For existing Web Page Composer content items:

1. In the portal, navigate to  System Administration  System Configuration  Knowledge Management  Content Management .

2. In Topic Area, select  Configuration  Content Management  Global Services  Property Structures  Property Groups .

3. To the all_groups property group, add EnterpriseWorkspaces to the list of items in the Group Items field.

   This adds a tab named EnterpriseWorkspaces to the properties of all KM content. This tab contains the following properties, which correspond to properties of a module template:

   Property	Description	Possible Values
   AvailableIn	Specifies where to display the item: Module Gallery, Application List, Report List. The Application List and Report List are part of the Link List Gallery	gallery, appList, repList
   WorkspaceTypes	Specifies whether an item is available for personal workspaces, shared workspaces, or both.	personal, shared

   IconURI	Specifies the icon to display for the item.	Relative path to icon

4. Save your changes.

5. In the relevant KM folder, enter the desired property values.

   Caution

   You must enter the values exactly as they appear in the table above.

   All content items in the folder inherit the configuration, and are displayed in enterprise workspaces content galleries according to this configuration.

   To prevent a specific content item from being displayed in enterprise workspaces, add the Exclude from Module Gallery custom property to the item.

For new Web Page Composer content items:

1. Add the following properties to the custom Web Page Composer content editor of type XML:

   <property id="workspacetypes" description="AVAILABLE_FOR" type="selecttype" isrequired="false" property="wpc_workspaces_type" />
   <property id="availablein" description="AVAILABLE_IN" type="selectavailability" isrequired="false" property="wpc_workspaces_availability" />
   <property id="spacescategories" description="GALLERY_CATEGORIES" type="selectcategories" isrequired="false" property="wpc_workspaces_categories" />
   <property id="workspaceicon" description="MODULE_ICON" type="imageselect" isrequired="false" property="wpc_workspaces_iconURI" />
   

   As a result, a set of enterprise workspaces options is added, in GUI format (check box options), to the Web Page Composer editor based on this type.

   Note

   Do not add these properties to an out-of-the-box Web Page Composer content item because the properties will not be translated.
