Button Function

New Creates a new template. When you click on New, ECM adds the name

<UNTITLED> to the Template list. You can then select attributes for the

untitled template. When you use the Save As… option, you give the

untitled template a name. You can also obtain the same result by clicking

on the New button in the tool bar, as illustrated to the left. (To identify the

button, just hold the mouse pointer over the button for a second. The

button name will appear below the button.)

Save Saves a template that has been modiﬁed with its same name and its same

landscape location. ECM will always increment the version number,

however. You can also obtain the same result by clicking on the Save

button in the tool bar, as illustrated to the left. Both the Save option in the

File menu and the Save button in the tool bar are grayed out if you are

creating a new template, because you must use the Save As… option to

name and save the new template. You can specify Save options in the

Preferences window and the resource ﬁle; these options let you overwrite

the existing template or create a new template (thus preserving the

previous version). See Specifying ECM Preferences/Settings in Chapter 2.

Save As... Names a new template, renames an existing template, or saves a template

to a new landscape.

Delete Deletes template currently selected (highlighted) in Template section.
