  • It can be filtered on from the "Filter On" drop down menu in this GUI
  • It can be used as an efficient search object in the Social - Share - Search API call.
  • Shares of type "infinite-entity-alias" are used by the framework for aliasing.
  • Shares of type "source_template" are used by the Source Editor GUI as shareable templates.
  • Shares of type "widgetsave" are used by the main GUI to store per-user or per-community settings.
  • Any other Community Edition application for internal purposes
