CMS Items hierarchy

Every CMS components inherits from the ‘CMSItem’ type, this type declare 3 attributes :

• catalogVersion
• name
• uid

Each CMS components can have multiple versions, default is a Staged and an Online version. Hence all items within the CMS hierarchy are catalog version aware. It gives you the ability to manage any sort of contents (Medias, Pages,
Slots, Nodes…) within on catalog version and then synchronize your content once it’s ready to go live.

CMSItem and CMSRelation are managed inside a content catalog,this catalog is only a subtype of the Hybris Catalog and add no extra functionnalities

<itemtype code="CMSItem" jaloclass="de.hybris.platform.cms2.jalo.contents.CMSItem" 
  extends="GenericItem" autocreate="true" generate="true" abstract="true">

When do we use CMSItem type and when do we use CMSRelation ?

• CMSItem when you create a new CMS item, like a new component or a new type of pages.
• CMSRelation when you create a new type which is not a CMS component but still need to be catalog version aware
