Maintain Footer Template

 

This form is used to maintain footer templates for use as properties of web pages created in Connect Builder. A footer template can also be associated with a web style to create a web style element (i.e. a web style incorporating a specific footer). Every footer template to be made available, as a web page property or style element must be assigned a label in this form.

For more details on the creation of web pages refer to the specialist topic Understanding the Web Administrator.

8. If the Style Override indicator is selected, the global or individual style overrides any inline style elements applied to the footer template. If the Style Override is unchecked, an inline style applied to the footer template overrides the global or individual style for the element unless it has been listed as a replacement element in the global or individual style.

9. The Closed indicator prevents further access to the footer template and suppresses it from all footer LOV's within the web administrator functionality.

10. The Delete button deletes the template element. 

 Rules/Notes:

A web footer template file cannot be deleted if it is currently being used in a web page.
