New Asset<br />

Chapter 33 Managing Assets<br />

When you click the Data Objects tab, <strong>NetObjects</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong> displays a list of all the<br />

data objects used in your site. In an internal data object, you can edit the name and<br />

field names and add new fields. See “Changing an Internal Data Field Name” on<br />

page 838.<br />

For an external data object, you can change Simple fields to Image fields and vice<br />

versa, but you cannot edit field names or add new fields, because these items<br />

depend on data in the external data file. Data objects can also be deleted, but use<br />

care when deleting and make sure the data object is no longer in use on the site.<br />

Photo galleries are a special type of data object. For information about photo<br />

galleries, including how to delete them in Assets view, see Chapter 15, “Creating<br />

Photo Galleries.” You can configure a photo gallery here by double-clicking it.<br />

Managing Variables<br />

Text variables make it easy to update text that appears throughout your site. <strong>User</strong>defined<br />

variables are displayed in Assets Variables view so you can edit, create, or<br />

delete them. <strong>NetObjects</strong> <strong>Fusion</strong> also provides standard variables, such as the date<br />

and time the site was created or last modified, but these are not displayed in Assets<br />

Variables view.<br />

Note: substitutions<br />

Adding a Variable<br />

1. In Assets Variables view, from the Assets menu choose New <strong>User</strong>-Defined<br />

Variable, or click New Asset on the views bar.<br />

The New Variable dialog appears.<br />

2. Enter a name and value for your variable and click OK.<br />
