Custom Record for CMS Content
The SMT Core Content Types bundle sets up the custom records for Site Management Tools (SMT) core content types. These content types include:

The SMT core content type custom records are locked, so you can’t edit or delete them.

When you add content to your site and publish it, it's saved as a custom record of one of these types. You can view or edit the record, and any edits you make are immediately visible on the site. For example, if you notice a misspelled word in a piece of text, you can edit the custom record to correct it, and the fix appears instantly.
Each content custom record also has a CMS Content record that controls how and when the content displays on your site. See CMS Contents Record.
If you create custom content types, a custom record is created for each custom content type. See Site Management Tools Custom Content Type.
To view the custom record for SMT content:
-
Go to Customization > List, Records, & Fields > Record Types.
-
