Embedded Pages: Creating, editing and previewing

Creating a new embedded page from a template

Since pages are based on templates, you must first open the desired template to create a
page from it. You can then edit the template’s editable fields (i.e. text, images, clips...etc.)
and insert it into a news story as a new embedded page.

To create a new embedded page from a template:
1.

Display the available templates in the Asset Gallery by clicking the T

EMPLATES

category

in the Asset Browser and navigating down until the desired template is displayed in the
Asset Gallery.
If a page is already open, click the C

REATE

NEW

button

in the toolbar. This will close

the open page, and then display the templates in the category that was last selected.
When the new page opens, the Asset Browser disappears. To display it again, click the
orange gripper bar.

2.

Double-click the template in the Asset Gallery from which you would like your page
based.
A new page is created based on the template and is opened for editing. The status bar
indicates that the page has not yet been named and saved, and identifies the template
on which it is based.

3.

Modify the page’s replaceable fields as required (see

“Changing a template’s editable

fields” on page 5-4

and

“Replacing an image, cel animation or a clip on a page” on page

5-5

).

4.

Set the page’s O

FFSET

and D

URATION

settings that are displayed in the Status bar. See

“Displaying a listing of Work Orders or Jobs” on page 3-19

.

5.

Insert the page into the story. See

“Saving and adding embedded pages to a story” on

page 5-15

.
