To support the large number of iParts that now install with iMIS, the iPart Gallery has a new folder organization that groups iParts into collections of similar features and functionality. Each folder opens a gallery on the right-hand pane, which lets you see the variety of iParts available in that collection.

You see the iPart Gallery when you edit a content record and click add content. To manage the iPart Gallery, you can select Content Management > Maintenance > Content types.
Easy Gallery Maintenance
The Gallery has been integrated fully into the Document System itself, so that you can manage these items exactly as you do your other files: versioning, importing, exporting, moving, and deleting. In addition, folders in the Document System can be configured to have custom security (such as to limit a folder to one department) or to allow authorized users to create subfolders, so you can do these things to your iPart Gallery folders as well.
With this integration, it is now simple for iMIS developers to assign their new content types to appropriate folders in the iPart Gallery, to help them to be found and reused. To improve Gallery usability, the Content Types folder now lets you create shortcuts exclusively to other content types, so that you can quickly populate the top level of the Gallery with the content types that your users need most frequently, such as simple HTML, URL, and file types. You can also reduce user confusion by adding shortcuts in additional folders where users might expect to find a given content type.
The virtual linking ("shortcuts") in the Document System now has additional filtering to ensure that new shortcuts link to appropriate folders and content types only. When you select New > Shortcut, the Document System honors the restrictions on the current folder and allows you to browse and select only allowed items for the link.
For example, when you are in the Content Types folder, you can only create shortcuts to other content type items therein, for the purpose of adding helpful shortcuts to users of your iPart Gallery. Rather than having to browse down from the top (root) of the Document System, you start within the Content Types folder, which contains the only allowed items you can link to.
