Content: Create New Content From Template
Templates are easy ways to preformat content. ListManager provides built-in templates for you to use. Or, create your own templates when creating content by going to Content: New Content: Advanced and select "Yes" next to Is This a Template.
To view, edit, test, copy, or delete templates, go to Content: Templates.
Note that there are two types of templates:
1. Fill-in-the-blank templates. If the template contains template form fields, only the fields will appear to the template user; other parts (e.g., HTML encoding) will be hidden.
2. Sample content templates. If the template does not contain template form fields, the template will be similar to copied content. Rather than filling in blanks, the user may edit the content.
The Invitation template is specifically for the Refer-A-Friend feature, and should not be used for other kinds of content.
Using a Template
These steps are for fill-in-the-blank templates. Users of sample content templates may edit and save the content as they would new or copied content.
1. Click New Content From Template on the Content tab.
2. Select the content template you would like to use.
3. Click preview to see what that template looks like.
4. Click OK to use that template for your new content.
5. Fill in the blanks of the template as the template directs. If the section is for the HTML portion of the message, you may have the option to use the HTML editor. Note: if you use the HTML editor, repeatedly clicking the "back" button of your web browser will go through each template field before going to the previous page.
NOTE The HTML editor will garble HTML code it does not create. Do not use the editor to edit code it has not generated.
6. Click preview to see what the message will look like. Click go back to edit your message further.
7. Click Create New Mailing to create a new mailing with the content you've created with the template. Click ok to name and save the filled-in template as content. Click cancel to return to the Choose a template mailing without saving your work.
