Cisco Cisco Process Orchestrator 3.0 User Guide

To create a target type:

Choose Definitions > Target Types, right-click, and choose New >Type. 

On the New Type Wizard, General pane, specify the basic properties for the new type, then click Next. 

For information about the field parameters, see the online help.

When you create a new target type, you can define what target type your new type inherits from by 
specifying its base type:

In the General dialog box, click Base Type.

Select the base target type from the Select Target Type list and click OK.

Your new type will inherit from the base type. After the target type has been created, you can change 
the target properties to use a different base type, but your options are very limited (see 

When you create a new target type, you can assign it a custom icon. To assign a custom icon to a target 
type:

In the General dialog box, click Use custom icon, then click Select icon… 

Use one of the pre-packaged icons or choose the Custom tab. 

The Custom tab allows you to choose images that have a .bmp extension. If you choose to use this 
option, you must provide the appropriate image.

After the target type has been created, you can change the target properties to use a different icon 
(see 

).

On the Properties pane, specify the new properties for this type, then click Next.

Each target type that you define can have a set of properties that can come from a variety of 
automation packs. 

Process Orchestrator allows you to add properties to any type, not just the types you ship in your 
automation pack. 

Properties can inherit from ancestors. 

You can package properties you add in automation packs and distribute them.

Click the Relationships tab, specify the new relationships (target references) for this type, then click 
Next.

On the Completing the New Type Wizard panel, click Finish to create the new type.
