Administration Console: Page Layout Templates Configuration Page

The Page Layout Templates configuration page allows you to set up page layout templates in PeopleUpdate. Page layout templates are reusable page layouts that can easily be shared with global PeopleUpdate pages. You can configure as many page layout templates as you'd like and each page layout template may have its own unique page layout and data. Page layout templates are associated with a page type and different page types allow you to configure specific properties for each page type.

Accessing the Page Layout Templates Configuration Page

You must have administrative access to the PeopleUpdate Administration Console to modify the page layout template configuration.

To navigate to the Page Layout Templates page:

  1. Log in to the Administration Console. Click here for more information about logging into the Administration Console.

  2. Click Page Layout Templates in the left navigation bar in the Global Configuration section.

Managing Page Layout Templates

PeopleUpdate provides page layout templates to easily allow you to reuse page layouts and configurations. Check out the Understanding Page Layout Templates topic for more information about page layout templates.

Creating Page Layout Templates

Page layout templates encapsulate page layouts and configurations. You can easily add page layout templates through the Page Layout Templates configuration page.

To add a page layout template:

  1. Navigate to the Administration Console’s Page Layout Templates page.

  2. Enter a name for the new page layout template in the Template Name field.

  3. Choose the page type for the new template. Be sure to choose the correct page type because you cannot change this later.

  4. Click Create New Page Layout Template to create a new page layout template and add it to the configuration.

  5. You will see the new page layout template appear in the Page Layout Template list and you can now edit the page layout template name.

Changing Page Layout Template Names

You can change the name of existing page layout templates without impacting how PeopleUpdate works.

Note: You cannot change the type of page for a page layout template after the template has been created. You need to create a new page layout template with the appropriate type. This behavior ensures that you do not cause unintended consequences for associated pages by changing page types.

To change the name of a page layout template:

  1. Navigate to the Administration Console’s Page Layout Templates page.

  2. Choose Edit for the page layout template whose name you want to update.

  3. Enter the new name and click Save to save your changes or Cancel to revert your changes to the previous value.

Deleting Page Layout Templates

You can delete page layout templates and all the related configuration and page data if you no longer need to use the page layout template.

To delete a page layout template from a tab:

  1. Navigate to the Administration Console’s Page Layout Templates page.

  2. Click the X icon next to the page layout template you want to delete.

  3. Click OK to delete the page layout template and all its related data or Cancel to avoid deleting the page layout template. Note that you cannot recover deleted page layout templates or related items and the change is permanent.
