SetID

The SetID under which the template will reside. If you want the template to exist under multiple SetIDs, you will need to perform Template Setup for each desired SetID.

Template ID

A unique, read-only identifier for the template.

Name

Enter a unique descriptive name for the web template.

URL

Enter the web URL where the template document is stored.

Preview

Click to view the actual appearance of the template document in your browser.

When performing a search for templates, only those secured templates that a user has permission to access are displayed as part of the search results.

Online Marketing verifies that the URL you supplied is valid and that the XML tags in the template are correct. If the verification is successful, the new template appears in the list of templates. If it is not, an error message is displayed describing the problem. You should go back and recheck your document to make sure you have included the tags properly, or ask your web server administrator to confirm that you are using the correct URL.

Before making your web template available, preview and test it thoroughly in both Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape browsers to ensure that all links and any special functionality (such as mouseovers) work properly and that the file looks the same on your browser and in Online Marketing.

Use the Marketing Center page (RY_TEMPLATE_MKTCTR) to assign one or more Marketing Centers by which to secure the template.

Note: The Marketing Center tab is available only if you have enabled the Secure Prospective Students by Marketing Center option in the Higher Education Options. Refer to the CRM for Higher Education documentation for more information about this option.
