Configuration Sets
A configuration set is a collection of configurations that can be used to help create one or more pages. Each configuration ties a template together with optional blocks and stylesheets, which can be used to base a new page on.
Even though a configuration set may happen to contain only one configuration, configurations cannot be used to create a page unless it is part of a configuration set.
Multiple configurations in one set are typically used when multiple outputs are required such as HTML and printer friendly or XML.
When creating a new configuration set, you must also create one or more configurations. More may be added later, but configurations cannot be reused from other sets.
To create a new Configuration Set:
- In the Administration area, select Configuration Sets from the left navigation bar.
- Navigate to the desired container, or create a new container to hold the new configuration set.
- Click New Configuration Set.
- On the General pane:
Name - Enter a descriptive name for your configuration set.
Parent Container - This value will already be set to the current container, but it can be changed, if desired, by clicking the chooser icon. - On the Configurations pane:
Under Add, select a Template and give a Name to your new configuration. Click Add this new configuration.
You will then be forwarded to the configuration page which allows you to assign blocks and stylesheets to the various template regions, assign an overall stylesheet, and determine whether this should be the Default Configuration.
You may add more configurations by repeating the same steps at the bottom of the frame. - Click Submit to save your new configuration set.
