Creating, editing, and deleting templates

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

Creating 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 Creating, editing and deleting 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 per your organisation's requirements.
         Note: these key/value pairs are created by the operator and are not controlled by NAGRAVISION.
