Templates
The Designer is a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) tool to create templates. This topic
gets you started. It explains how to create a template, what is found in a template file, and how
output can be generated.
Creating a template
In the Welcome screen that appears after startup, get off to a flying start choosing Browse
Template Wizards. Scroll down to see all the Template Wizards. After deciding which output
channel – printoremail – will be prevalent in your template, select a template.
The Template Wizards can also be accessed from the menu: click File, click New, expand the
Template folder, and then expand one of the templates folders.
There are Wizards for the three types of output channels, or contexts as they are called in the
Designer: Print and Email.

Tip
The quickest way to create a Print template based on a PDFfile is to right-click the PDF
file in the Windows Explorer and select Enhance with Connect.
After creating a template you can add the other contexts (see "Contexts" on page101), as well
as extra sections (see "Sections" on page102), to the template.
