Creating Template Groups

Grouping templates has the following benefits:

• You can activate related templates together for use in folders.

• You can generate submenus with nested menu structures in the New menu.

You have write permission for the folder for template groups (default setting: /documents/Templates/ TemplateGroups ).

1. Create a subfolder for each template group in the /documents/Templates/TemplateGroups / folder:

   The system displays the name of the subfolder in menus.

2. Navigate to the template group. To add content to the template group, proceed as follows:

   • Create links to single templates.

     Example: Link to /documents/Templates/SingleTemplates/< myTemplate.doc >

     This is the standard procedure.

   • To nest template groups, create links to other template groups.

     Example: Link to /documents/Templates/TemplateGroups/< myOtherTemplateGroup >

   • To create templates that are only available in this group, you upload documents to the /documents/Templates/TemplateGroups/< myTemplateGroup > folder.

3. Define permissions for the template group.

   1. Open the Details dialog box for the template group.

   2. Choose  Settings   Permissions .

   3. Give read permission to authors who need to use the template group.

      Authors also require write permission for folders in which they are to create new items.
