• What is a content type?• A content type is a type of item in SharePoint that
contains predefined characteristics.• Content Types can be available for an entire site
collection or just a subsite or, if published, to an entire farm in 2010.
• What types of things can be predefined?• Metadata (columns/tags) – Managed Properties• Retention• Routing• Workflow• Auditing, barcodes, labels

Other Content Type facts• Hierarchical inheritance• Resist temptation to modify parent types• Folders have no Metadata in SharePoint, but a content
type inheriting from Folder Parent can have whatever you want provided it is static. Use Document Sets in 2010 instead.
• Can create custom content types quite easily in Visual Studio
• External Content Types (ECT) are used with Business Connectivity Services (BCS)

Step one --- Creating the Content Type
In site settings, select Site Content Types

Step Two – Create the new Content Type

Setting up the Content Type

Calendar Items are Event Content Types

Parent group and type• Decide where to save the
Custom Content Type

Attach a workflow(s) to the Content Type

Adding Columns

Adding Retention
Retention in SharePoint 2010 can be configured by Content Type or list/library.
![Page 17: Content types presentation](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022052504/5483fa765806b5cc588b4584/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Retention of One Year
Note: Healthcare experience has taught me to add time to stated retention categories except when dictated by official mandate.
In this example, a one year retention was given to keep SharePoint lean.
