Content Type List
The content type list defines the properties that are populated in a Smart Document screen. For each column, a list item is associated with the content type or CtType. For example, a CtType with five columns, there are five list items. Each list item characterizes the column requirements, such as the type of property and any lookup or auto-fill features.
CAUTION:
A site content type should be configured for each unique content type
in the content type list, and the site content type must contain at least the columns
that are added to the content type list.
Warning: The column name is the internal system name that is referenced by the
system. You must not modify the column name under any circumstances. The display name is
the name that appears on the user interface.
The following characteristics are defined for each content type:
| Content Type | Description |

| CtType | Identifies the content type name |
| Column Name | Identifies the internal column name |
| Display Name | Identifies the column name appearing on the Smart Document User Interface (UI), |

| Control Type | Identifies how the column is rendered |
| Required Flag | Identifies whether the user must provide a value for the column |
