Content type validations

By default, concepts cannot be assigned to entries. Instead, one or more hierarchies of concepts (represented by concept schemes, or subconcepts of specific concepts) must first be assigned to the content type. This assignment functionality is called taxonomy validations. Once taxonomy validations are implemented, entries can then be allowed the use of concepts within the hierarchies assigned to their content type.

The same permissions for creating and editing a content type apply for managing taxonomy validations.

Limitations: 

• You can create up to 10 validations per content type.

To allow concepts to be assigned to ‌entries, you must first add taxonomy validations to a content type.
