Saving a template
A Designer template file has the extension .OL-template. It is a zip file that includes up to 3
contexts, all the related resources and scripts, and (optionally) a link to a Data Mapping
Configuration.
To save a template for the first time, select File > Save as. After that you can save the template
by selecting File > Save or pressing Ctrl+S.
Tip
To quickly copy the name of any other file, set Save as type to Any file (*.*) in the Save dialog.
Select a file to put its name in the File name field. Then set Save as type to Template files (*.OL-
template) and save the template.
When more than one resource is open and the Designer software is closed, the Save
Resources dialog appears. This dialog displays a list of all open resources with their names
and file location. Selected resources will be saved, deselected resources will have all their
changes since they were last saved dismissed.
Saving older templates
Saving a template in a newer version of the software will convert the template to the newest file
format. This makes it unreadable to older versions of the software.
The warning message that is displayed in this case can be disabled.
To re-enable this message (and all other warning dialogs), go to Window > Preferences >
General, and click the Reset All Warning Dialogs button at the bottom.
Auto Save
After a template has been saved for the first time, Connect Designer can auto save the
template with a regular interval. To configure Auto Save:
1.
Select the menu option Window > Preferences > Save.
2.
Under Auto save, check the option Enable to activate the Auto Save function.
3. Change how often it saves the template by typing a number of minutes.
