Creating a New Product Theme Template

You must create a new Web template to customize the display of group names. You do this by copying an existing product theme template. Then you insert a UI property variable into the copy. Finally, you assign the new Web template as the product theme for the customizable product.

To insert a UI property variable into a product theme Web template, do the following:

  1. Locate the od-type="control" element that governs the display of the group name:

    1. Tab Theme. Locate the first od-case tag. It is located near the start of the file.

    2. Single Page Theme. Locate the first od-iterator tag.

    3. Wizard Theme. Locate the first od-iterator tag.

  2. Beneath the location specified previously, locate the first od-type="control" element. It defines the group data record. One of the attributes of this element is CfgFieldName = "CxGroupName".

  3. Replace CxGroupName with the name of the UI Property variable. The name must be preceded with a period (.). For example: ".NewGroupName".
