Content Objects
Optionally, click the Content Objects tab to manage content objects that are displayed on the page. Content Objects can be inherited from parent content items (pages or portals) and can also be cascaded down to child content items.
To manage content objects
1. Click the Content Objects tab.
2. The fields of the tab are displayed.
3. Select an inheritance rule by selecting the appropriate radio button. Select Inherit Cascade to inherit the content objects from the parent content item. Select Start New Cascade if you want any child content items to inherit these content objects. Select Do Not Inherit Cascade if you do not want to inherit the content objects from the parent content item.
4. When you select a content object type, a list of available content objects is displayed in a box below the drop-down list field. In the example below the System content object type is selected.
5. Select and add those content objects to areas of the page template, such as the Main or Sidebar sections. To do this, select an object from the box and use the right-arrows
button to add a content object to the Main or Sidebar boxes. Use the left-arrows
button to remove a content object. Order content objects within a section of the page by selecting an object and moving it one up in the list by clicking the Up
button or move it one step down in the list by clicking the down
button.

Perhaps I just can't find it, but is there somewhere that lists out and defined all of the system content objects? Some of them are a bit confusing or I just don't know what they do.

I am looking for explanations for them as well.
