Promoting unmanaged objects

To convert an unmanaged object to a managed object:

  1. In or , find and select an unmanaged object.
  2. Make sure that the object is not checked out for editing.
    • If the object is checked out to you, you can right-click the object and select Check In or Undo Checkout from the context menu.
      or
    • If the object is checked out to someone else, see the metadata card of the object to identify the user who has checked out the object, and then ask them to check it in.
  3. Use the Class drop-down menu to change the class of the object.
  4. When you have changed the class, you can enrich the object with metadata as you see fit.
    The class that you select sets the default metadata properties of the object.
  5. Click Save to save your changes.
The selected object in the external repository has now been promoted into a managed object.
