Templates Tab

The Templates sub-tab allows users to view, edit, search for, and create templates.  Under the Templates tab, clicking on the "View Working Templates" will display all the saved/published Templates on the host in a paginated list (see figure below).  Click on "Add/Edit Template" to add a new template to the website.  The Templates sub-tab also allows users to filter searching for templates by Host, by Structure, and by keyword search.

The Templates search results display in four columns:

• Status - displays "Live" for published templates and is empty for templates that are saved or in working status.
• Title - displays the title of the template.
  
• Host - displays the host where the template lives.
• Mod. Date - displays the date and time of the last modification of the template.

In the search results area a left click on a title will open the template properties window, while a right-click on a title will produce a menu list that allows users to Edit, Move, *Publish/Unpublish/Archive the template.

*Some menu options are dynamic, based upon the current template status.
