Document Type Configuration Dialog Box
The Document Type Configuration dialog box allows you to create or edit a framework (document type). It is displayed when you use the New, Edit, Duplicate, or Extend buttons in the Document Type Association preferences page (open the Preferences dialog box and go to Document Type Association).
The configuration dialog box includes the following fields and sections:
- Name
- The name of the framework. This will be displayed as its name in the Document Type column in the Document Type Association preferences page.
- Priority
- Depending on the priority level, Oxygen XML Developer Eclipse plugin establishes the order that the
existing frameworks are evaluated to determine the type of a document you
are opening. It can be one of the following: Lowest,
Low, Normal, High, or
Highest. You can set a higher priority for frameworks
you want to be evaluated first.Note: The built-in document types are set to Low priority by default. Frameworks that have the same priority are sorted alphabetically.

If you select the External storage option, the framework is saved in a specified file with a mandatory extension (located in a subdirectory of your current framework directory.

page. You can impose an initial mode for opening files that match the
association rules of the document type. For example, if the files are usually edited in
the Author mode, you can set it in the Initial edit
mode combo box.Note: You can also customize the initial mode for a document type in the Edit modes preferences page. Open the Preferences dialog box and go to .
