To create a custom page template
1. In Designer, go to Window > Preferences.
2. Expand the Software AG node and then expand the UI Development node.
3. Click Templates.
4. On the Templates page, click New Page.
5. Specify values for the following fields:
Field | Description |
Name | Required. The name of the page template. |
Context | Required. The purpose of the page template. Values are:  ShellLogin Maintenance |
Description | Optional. A description of the page template. |
Resources | Optional. The resources that the page template requires. Do the following: Click Link to connect to already existing static resources in the Resources folder. Then select one or more resources and click OK. Click Import to import a folder from your local system into the Resources folder. Then select one or more resources and click OK. |
Pattern | Required. The definition of the page template. Type any custom code to modify the content of the page. Note: | Although you can save the template without specifying anything in the field, leaving the field empty creates an empty file when you use the template. |

After you create the custom page template, when you create a new OpenCAF Shell page project, you can select the page template in the Initial Content field of the Page Options wizard.
Note: | If you do not want the template to show as an Initial Content option in the Page Options wizard, clear the check box next to the template on the Templates page. |
