Using a Web Site Template
A Web site can be created from a Web site template (in the same way as a report (MS Word) can be created from a report template (MS Word)).
The Web site template is not intended for generation but only as a template for building the Web site.
Creating a Web Site Template
In a Web site template, you indicate the type(s) of object to be described in the site as well as the pages generated. This avoids you having to specify these at each new creation of a Web site.
To create a Web site template:
1. In Hopex Windows Front-End workspace, select the Utilities window (accessed by selecting View > Navigation Windows > Utilities).
2. Right-click the Web Site Template folder and select New > Web site template.
3. In the Create Web Site Template dialog box, indicate its Name and click OK
You can base a Web site template on another Web site template. To do this, you must duplicate the existing Web site template. See Duplicating a Web Site Template.The Web site template is placed on the desktop, and in its properties dialog box you must define the described objects and pages as we did for a Web site.
