What are template settings and properties?
Template settings and properties can be used in Template Designer in order to customize statically or dynamically specific elements on the template level, such as the page orientation, the proofing language, the template name, the properties/metadata injected in the template, and more. Template settings and properties require a good understanding of the binding syntax and may be used in conjunction with functions, conditions, and operators.
ImportantIt is important to note that template settings and properties are only supported with files that are stored in the Template Libraries (Documents, Presentations, and Spreadsheets). Settings and properties applied to the files stored in the Asset Libraries (Text elements, Email elements, Slides, and Slide elements), will not be injected into the document, or the presentation upon insertion. The assets will inherit the settings and properties from the template they are being inserted into. |
