Templates
The Designer is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) tool to create templates. This topic
gets you started. It explains how to create a template, what is found in a template file, and how
output can be generated.
Creating a template
In the Welcome screen that appears after startup, get off to a flying start choosing Template
Wizards. Scroll down to see all the Template Wizards. After deciding which output channel will
be prevalent in your template, select a template.
The Template Wizards can also be accessed from the menu: click File, click New, expand the
Template folder, and then expand one of the templates folders.
There are Wizards for each output channel, or contexts as they are called in the Designer:
Print and Email.
See:
l "Creating an Email template with a Wizard" on page167
l "Creating a Print template with a Wizard" on page122
Tip
The quickest way to create a Print template based on a PDFfile is to right-click the PDF
file in the Windows Explorer and select Enhance with Connect.
After creating a template you can add the other contexts (see "Contexts" on page114), as well
as extra sections (see "Sections" on page115), to the template.
