You cannot edit the delivered SAP templates: They are only offered as read-only in edit mode. You have to store your changes to the template under a new name.

End of the caution.

Procedure

  1. On the left-hand side of the screen, select an element of the user interface.

    In the preview area you see what the element looks like in the selected template. The different parameters for the selected element are displayed in the lower part of the screen under Styles.

  2. Edit the relevant parameters.

    Change the parameter values or add other logos and images (see Changing Logos and Images).

    Recommendation Recommendation

    If you choose the Options link next to the input fields, a dialog box appears. This helps you to select the right value for the current parameter according to the CSS1 standard.

    Note that you only see the effects of a change if you either press ENTER or click another input field.

    End of the recommendation.

  3. Choose Save As to save the template.

  4. Enter the following data for your theme:

    • Name

    • Theme ID

    • In the dropdown list under Folder ID, search for the folder in the Portal Catalog where you would like to store the theme. The folders   Portal Content   Themes   and   Portal Content   Themes   Customer   appear as default values. The folders that you created yourself also appear in the list. For more information about themes in customer folders, see Themes in the Portal Catalog.
