Hi All,

What exactly do the below signify.

During template creation 

ResourceType

Allowed Parents

Allowed Children

During Component creation

Resource Type

Any thoughts on this will be helpful.

Your questions go to the fundamentals of AEM development. The best source for understanding these would be the Adobe AEM developer course. In the absence of formal training, you will have to go through the documentation to get all your answers

For your questions about Templates: http://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/develop/the-basics/templates.html

For components: https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/develop/components.html

The following page ties all the concepts together for AEM development https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-0/develop/the-basics.html

Straight from documentation. I believe this is self explanatory

ResourceType -- path of resource that contains rendering script for this template

Allowed Parents -- Path of a template that is allowed to be a parent of this template

Allowed Children -- Path of a template that is allowed to be a child of this template.
