Promote

Use this page to promote objects from the current page group to the Shared Objects page group.

When you promote an object, you make it visible across all page groups. You can promote attributes, item types, page types, categories, perspectives, and styles.

To promote an attribute, item type, page type, category, or perspective you need the Manage Classifications privilege on the page group to which the object belongs and on the Shared Objects page group. To promote a style you need the Manage Style privilege on the page group to which the style belongs and on the Shared Objects page group.

Field Descriptions

Promote to Shared Area

Field	Description
Yes	Click to promote the object, moving it to the Shared Objects page group. This makes the object visible across all page groups.
No	Click to close the page and not promote the object.

Notes

When you promote an item type or page type, all attributes included in the type are also promoted.
When you promote a category or perspective all children (subcategories and subperspectives) are also promoted.
If you are promoting a non-public style (that is, a style for which the Make Public check box is not selected), the style is moved to the Shared Objects page group, but is not made public. If you want other users to be able to use the style, you must explicitly make the style public.
You cannot promote templates or navigation pages. If you want to share a template or navigation page between multiple page groups, you must recreate it in the Shared Objects page group.
