Adding a Header or Footer to a Document Template

To add a header or footer to the document template from the Document Editor:

  1. From the top of the Document Editor, select the Header tab to add a header or the Footer tab to add a footer.
    • From the Template layout drop-down, choose how many columns the header or footer should contain. Textura supports up to three columns.

    Each column will include Content Type options.

    • Text: Add text to display in the header or footer on each page of the document template.

      The default alignment of content within the column depends on how many columns you choose for your header or footer.

      • One Column: Text is center-aligned.
      • Two Columns: The first column's text uses a left-alignment and the second uses a right-alignment.
      • Three Columns: The first column uses a left-alignment, the second uses a center-alignment, and the third uses a right-alignment.
    • Page Number: Insert page numbers across all pages in the document template.
    • Image: Upload an image to display in the header or footer of every page of the document template.
    • Variable: Select a variable to include in the header or footer of each page.
    • N/A: Do not include any content in the header or footer. Use this option if you chose to include multiple columns and want a column to contain only blank space.

      Note: You can only choose one Content Type per header or footer column.
