Determining associations

It is especially important to understand the associations before changing or deleting a template.

  1. Open the Events tab > Templates tab.
  2. Select a template by clicking on it in the name list, and then click the Associations tab.
  3. Expand the Associations tree to view topics associated with the template.

Associating a topic with a template

Before modifying a supplied template, copy the original, rename it, and modify the copy. This prevents loss of template functionality when templates are overwritten on a product update.
  1. Enter edit mode, open the Events tab and then the Templates tab.
  2. Expand the default pane of the explorer pane to the topic that you want to associate with the template and select it. Use Ctrl+click or Shift+click to select multiple topics.
  3. Open your template in the template tree under the default pane of the explorer pane and drag the topic onto the template name in the template list. A message appears indicating that the topic is associated with the template.
  4. Click Commit to save the template associations.

Disassociating a topic from a template

  1. Enter edit mode and access Events tab > Templates tab > Associations tab.
  2. Select the object and expand its associations tree. Use Ctrl+click or Shift+click to select multiple topics.
  3. Right-click the topic or group of selected topics and select Delete.
  4. Click Commit to save the changes to the database.
