<title>Setting a port type</title>
<shortdesc>A port type is a named set of abstract operations and the abstract
messages involved. Each operation refers to an input message and output messages.
A port type is referenced by a binding object. Each binding references exactly
one port type. Since each port refers to exactly one binding, each port has
exactly one port type.</shortdesc>

<taskbody>
<context><p>You can create a port type by right clicking in any blank space
in the Design view and selecting <uicontrol>Add PortType</uicontrol>. As a
convenience you can also add a port type via a binding. This allows you to
create a port type and modify the binding to reference the new port type in
one action. You can either create a new port type for your binding, re-use
an existing one, or import one.</p></context>
