Creating a new page from a template
The Vertigo Suite workflow dictates that templates are created in Xstudio. Templates are
designed so that the formatting, layout and some graphical elements are fixed (i.e. cannot
be edited except in Xstudio).
In the XG & iTX integrated workflow, unique instances of the graphics, known as pages, can
quickly and easily be created using the VertigoXG Viewer by changing dynamic content
fields and saving the individual page asset.

While pages already exist on the Xmedia Server, you cannot create a new page from an
existing page. In other words, there is no “Save Page As” functionality in the VertigoXG
Viewer. You can only edit and save existing pages or create new pages from templates.
Figure 3-6 and the following procedure describe how you can use the VertigoXG Viewer to
create a new page based on existing template stored on the Xmedia Server and add it to
the VertigoXG Palette’s Selection pane.
Figure 3-6. Create a new page based on an existing template
To create a new page in the VertigoXG Viewer:
1.
Open the template in the VertigoXG Viewer’s Edit view.
2. Edit the template’s dynamic fields.
For example, you may be able to edit text fields, make selections from a drop-down list,
or substitute an image, cel animation or clip asset displayed on the template.
