   Data-type names must start with a letter and can contain letters, numbers, and hyphens.

3. Optional: In the Description column, enter more detailed information, such as the purpose of the data type.

4. Select an option from the Reuse Layer list to indicate where the class for the data type is created.

Follow these steps when you are extending a framework application.

1. Review the list of data types in the framework application that will be added to your new application.

   By default, the check box next to each data type is selected.

2. Click an application name in the Additional Built-On Applications section to review a list of data types that will be inherited.

3. Repeat step 2 for each list of data types that you want to inspect.

4. Optional: Clear the check box next to a data type to exclude it from the import process.

For each data type that you select, an existing data class is referenced by your new application.
