Prototype
Subclass of PrimaryType
Overview
Used to create a template for creating other metadata objects or set of metadata objects that represent a concept. Any metadata type may be associated with a prototype. The prototype includes all possible valid options or properties that may be used to describe the metadata object that is represented by the prototype. The prototype may then be used to drive a UI that will aid an end user in the creation of metadata. The model allows for any metadata type to be considered a prototype, however, there is currently no defined way to specify that the given metadata object is a prototype that does not represent a particular entity. It is recommended that only metadata types that have a role attribute be considered candidates for defining new prototypes. The role attribute is typically used by clients to filter the metadata before displaying to end users.
Security Inheritance and Enforcement Rules
The following list of associations is used to determine if this object should inherit access controls from another object (inheritance), or if the association is allowed for the object (enforcement). An association will not be created unless the calling user is authorized to update one or both objects involved in the association. For more information about inheritance and enforcement rules, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.
