## 7.2. Suggested Steps for Defining Custom Types

The creation of custom types is an iterative process. You may want to create an initial implementation, obtain feedback from stakeholders, make the suggested changes, and iterate through the process until you come up with a new type (or changes to an existing type) that is agreed upon by all the concerned parties. It is therefore recommended that you use a separate workspace for experimenting with custom data types (see Creating a New, Empty Workspace). Once the changes are approved, you can add them to the production workspace. Follow the instructions below to define your custom type using the user interface or XML.

When you are ready to define a custom type, refer to one of the following methods:
