Edit Template Properties
- To access the properties page of a standard user-defined template, select the desired template in the User-Defined Templates subtree, then select Edit -> Template Properties from the menu (or go via the right-click menu of the template node in the explorer tree).
- To create a new user-defined template from scratch, select New -> Content Template -> Empty Template from the menu (or go via the right-click menu of the parent template folder in the explorer tree).
On this page, you can edit some overall properties of the user-defined template.
General Properties
In this section you can edit the Name of the template.
Default Properties
In this section you can specify defaults that shall by applied to a mail job if the template is selected for that mail job:
-
Language: Select the language (character encoding) that matches the content of the template. All text that is included in the template or that is later entered into the editable block by the user must be expressible in this character encoding, or otherwise there will be characters that cannot be properly displayed.
When this template is selected from the template gallery to be used for a mail job, then the mail job's language setting will be changed to this default as defined by the template. This is only an initial default for the mail job after the template is selected. For a standard template, the user can still change the mail job's language setting after selecting the template, if necessary.
-
Drop-In Settings: Define the drop-in settings that match the content of the template. If the template uses drop-ins, then you should always enable drop-in content and specify the correct opening and closing tags as used in the template. If the template does not use drop-ins, then you can either leave drop-in content disabled, or you can still enable it, with suitable opening and closing tags, if you expect that the user who fills out the template with content will likely use drop-ins.
When this template is selected from the template gallery to be used for a mail job, then the mail job's drop-in settings will be changed to this default as defined by the template. This is only an initial default for the mail job after the template is selected. For a standard template, the user can still change the mail job's drop-in settings after selecting the template, if necessary.
-
Automatic CSS Inlining: Define if automatic CSS inlining shall be applied to the mail job in which the template is later used.
When this template is selected from the template gallery to be used for a mail job, then the mail job's css inlining setting will be changed to this setting as defined by the template. Contrary to the other default properties described above, the user will not be able to change the mail job's css inlining setting after selecting the template.
