  1. Navigate to Administration » Settings » Advanced » Sitemap » Excluded Types.
  2. Click Create new.
  3. In Type Name, enter full name of the type you want to exclude.
    For example, enter Telerik.Sitefinity.News.Model.NewsItem
  4. When the type has child types, select Exclude Type Children, if you want to exclude the child types also.
    For example, if you have a hierarchical dynamic module and you want to exclude the child types as well.
  5. Save your changes.

    All of the sites are listed with their IDs.
  3. Click the site where you want to exclude a type.
  4. Click Excluded Types.
  5. In Type Name, enter full name of the type you want to exclude.
    For example, enter Telerik.Sitefinity.News.Model.NewsItem
