Creating and adding an embedded page to a playlist
Creating and adding a new embedded page to the playlist results in the page existing only
in that specific playlist, not as an asset in the Asset Browser to be used in additional
playlists.
The following instructions describe the commonly used method of creating a new
embedded page from a template, followed by some alternative methods.
To create a new page from a template and add it to the playlist as an embedded page:

Click the I

root category and
sub-categories.
3.
Double-click the template asset listed.
The template opens in the Template Editor.
Or,
Select the template in the Template Editor and click OK.
The template opens in the Template Editor.

Alternative ways of creating and adding an new embedded page from a template
include:
•
Navigate through the Asset Browser’s T

categories until the desired template
is listed in the panel to the right of the Asset Browser. Select the desired template asset
from the Template Editor and drag and drop it into the playlist.
•
With a template open in the Template Editor, drag and drop the
icon (located in the
upper portion of the Template Editor) into the playlist.
•
If you have populated the Favorites Browser with existing templates, you can drag and
drop these templates from the Favorites Browser into the playlist.
•
Open a Merge List in Xbuilder and all of the new pages that are created are added to
a new playlist as embedded pages until they are approved (then they become shared
pages). See
“Creating pages and/or scene using a Merge List” on page 3-4
for more
information.
