Template and graphic charter management

Introduction

The tool displays the templates, as well as the graphic charts used and not used by your sites in your application:

Models

A template is an entity that can be declined into several charters. It brings together all the common features of different charters in a single place, while leaving them free to configure certain characteristics, such as logos or the colors of certain zones. In this way, several charters can retain a certain graphic coherence while differing in certain finishes.

Import a model

To import a graphic chart template, click on the Import a template button Ametys :

Then select the ZIP file of the model to be imported:

The template name will be determined from the ZIP file name. If a template already has this name, you can choose whether or not to replace the old template.

Re-apply to charters

To reapply a template to the graphic charts that use it, select the template and click on the Reapply to charts button:

All chart files using this template will be replaced by those of the template, retaining the current settings of each chart.

Generate a charter

To generate a graphic charter from a template, select the template from the list and click on the Generate Charter button:

This action instantiates the template into a graphic charter that can then be used to create a website.
