Designing Screens › Create Templates

Create Templates

Since most screens contain at least some common information, templates are a good way to minimize repetition and save design time. You can create a list of templates, and then include whichever ones you need in each screen.

Complete the following tasks to create a template:

• Add (and copying) literals
• Add special fields
• Add a description (optional but recommended)

When you create a template, the Screen Design tool displays each object you add in a different color:

• Literals appear in white
• Special fields appear in green
• Prompts appear in blue
