Assign at the Configuration Set Level

Author: David Klanac

At the configuration set level, you can override these assignments with different blocks/stylesheets than the ones that were specified at the template level. Pages in the system inherit all region information from their configuration sets. NOTE: If an assignment is made at the template level, the configuration set will inherit that assignment unless you choose to override it explicitly in the configuration set.

If a specific group of pages within the site all use the same blocks, it’s best to set up a configuration set for that group.

Example:

Your Press Release section may have a default region that is laid out very differently from the About Us section. You would use two different configuration sets that inherit the same template to manage those sections. Each configuration set will have its own unique block/stylesheet assignment designed to meet the needs of their respective sections.

How to Assign:

1. In the System area, select your configuration set, or click Create, to create a new configuration set.
2. Select a Configuration by clicking on its name, or click on “Add new configuration” to assign a new template.
3. If you are editing an existing configuration, the template will already be selected, and all of the currently defined regions appear, including file chooser icons to select blocks and stylesheets for each region. If you are adding a new configuration, select a Target/Template from the file chooser, and all currently defined regions for that template will appear.
4. If the selected template has blocks or stylesheets already assigned to various regions, these will appear alongside the region names.
5. To assign a block or stylesheet, click on the appropriate file chooser icon, and select the desired block or stylesheet from the pop-up asset menu. Any currently assigned blocks or stylesheets may be overridden by clicking on the delete icon, or by selecting a new file from the chooser.
6. Click Submit to save your changes. These assignations will be replicated throughout any page based on this template, but can be overridden at the page level.
