titleDescription

Suppose a team has defined a set of module types they want to use throughout the Confluence site. It would be cumbersome and error-prone to have to copy this set of pages. Instead the team stores these types on the index space and makes it accessible by all other spaces.

titleType-specific Types on Show Case

The show case index space lists the following type-specific types.

A type-specific type is a type this is defined for a specific document type. The Resource Doctype has a Resource Type Doctype, the Role Doctype the Role Type Doctype. This way a document type has an associated index to provide navigation: the doctype type homepage.

The show case index space provides not for all types document instances. It does define, for instance module types: Module Types

The homepage for module types list the central module types. A central module type has the homepage of module types as its parent page.

The module type Fragment has child types. Child types have another type as a parent, allowing ancestor queries (see Search Tips for more tips on searches).

Another type specific type is experience levels: Levels of Experience

Experience levels are only used by the Topic Doctype. But they may be used, other than the Topic Type Doctype, by other doctypes, too. Nonetheless the Experience Level Doctype is not used by every type of document.

Section
titleDynamic Navigation

For dynamic navigation the type-specific types also provide a list of documents that are associated with that type. As with Common generic Types the space keys parameter of the Display Table Macro should also be set to @all (which is #show-case in the case of this show case to limit search to all spaces within the show-case category).
