Creating a new shared 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 replaceable fields (i.e. text, images,
clips...etc.) and save it as a new shared page.
To create a new page from a template:
1.
Display the available templates in the Asset Gallery by clicking the desired T
EMPLATES
category in the Asset Browser.
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 replacable fields as required (see
“Saving shared pages to the Xmedia
“Replacing an image, cel animation or a clip on a page” on page
).
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.
