Description

Each Stor has a metadata configuration where you can define the item type groupings.

For more information on the purpose of item types, see What are "Item Types" and how does Veritas Alta SaaS Protection use them

To view or modify a Stor's item type configuration, follow these steps:

Step 1 -- Navigate to Metadata

Click the ' Administration' tab and select the desired Stor in your configuration. After clicking a Stor, click on the ' Metadata' tab.
 
 

Step 2 -- Expand Item Types

Click the expand arrow next to ' ItemType' to see the Stor's current item type settings.


Step 3 -- Edit Item Types

Either click the edit icon to modify an existing item type grouping, or click ' Add Bucket' to create a new grouping.
 
 
This will display the properties window. Here you need to provide a label for the bucket and specific value(s).

NOTE: For item types, the bucket type is always a specific value.

To set one or more specific values, click the ' Add Specific Value' button.


 
This will display the window for selecting a value you wish to add. Add any file extension preceded with the dot (e.g. '.xyz'). As you type, you'll see an auto-fill feature that includes all of the file extensions from the data presently archived.
 
 
Click ' Apply' to add the file extension to the grouping.

Repeat to add more file extensions to the item type grouping.

When finished, click ' Apply' on the Bucket Properties window.

Make sure to click ' Apply' again to save the item type grouping.



NOTE: You can edit or remove an item type grouping at any time by clicking the edit icon or the delete icon on the item type grouping you wish to modify / remove.



Additional Information

Saving / Loading Item Type Templates

Your item types configuration can be saved by clicking the 'Save As Template' button. If your Veritas Alta SaaS Protection configuration has multiple Stors, you can optionally 'Load From Template', and if desired modify the template and save a new variation of it.


Item Type Settings
 
Because ' ItemType' is a ' System Field', you are not able to modify its settings.

For more information on the metadata configuration, see  Advanced metadata configuration in Veritas Alta SaaS Protection.
