Loading page data

Page types

Determines which page types to load. Enter a list of page type code names, separated by semicolons (;).

You can use the * wildcard as a substitute for any sequence of characters. For example Product.* includes the page types Product.Camera, Product.CellPhone, Product.Computer etc.

If you leave the property empty, the data source retrieves all page types.

Note: If you use an empty value to load all page types, only the general data columns from View_CMS_Tree_Joined are available in the retrieved data. The specific fields of individual page types are not included. Keep this fact in mind when writing transformations, WHERE conditions, ORDER BY expressions, or otherwise using columns.
