Create templates

Templates are used to create and contain layouts in Rails Builder.

You can have multiple layouts in a template and switch the active layout by setting it as the default.

Create a template

To create a template in Rails Builder:

1. In the Templates panel on the left, click .

2. Click and select the locale for the template.

3. Give the template (and its initial layout) names and titles. (This will create a template with one layout. You can add more layouts to the template if required – see Create layouts).

4. If your deployment is a shared deployment, enter your tenant ID in Tenant ID.

5. Optionally:

   1. Under Template:

      1. Use Additional Properties to add any additional properties that are required for the template.

      2. In Blueprint, select a blueprint to apply predefined values to the template.

   2. Under Layout:

      1. Under Destination Selection, leave All Devices selected.

      2. Under Default Rail Image Orientation, select the image orientation.

      3. Use Additional Properties to add any additional properties that are required for the layout.
         These enable you to apply additional formatting to templates according to your organisation's requirements.
         Note: these key/value pairs are created by the operator and are not controlled by NAGRAVISION.

6. Click Create Template.

7. In the confirmation dialog that is displayed, click Continue.

The template is displayed, showing the initial (blank) layout. You can now:

• Create additional templates

• Create layouts

Create a child template

You can drag one template under another using the  handle to build nested page structures. Alternatively, to create a child template:

1. From the relevant template menu, select Add Child Template.

2. On the Create Template page, enter and select the required details as above.

3. Click CREATE TEMPLATE to save the template.
