Page Template¶

A page template is a predefined layout and design. The template contains a defined set of controls, arrangement, colors and fonts.

By using templates, you can quickly create new pages and apply existing designs and layouts. When updates or modifications to the system are required, simply update the template without having to modify each screen individually.

Page templates are divided into five areas: the content area, the top sidebar, the bottom sidebar, the left sidebar, and the right sidebar. The content area is not editable and the other areas are editable.

Entry 1: In the "Page" menu, click "New Template".

Entry 2: Click "New Template" in the guide page of the editor (when you open the editor for the first time or when no page is opened in the editor).

Entry 3: Right-click on the "Page Templates" node in the "Project" window and click "Add" in the popup menu.
