11.3.16.1.1 Name
Theme indicates the theme to which the template is a member. Name identifies the name of the template.
Template Class identifies a specific use for the template. When you switch to a new theme, all templates in one theme are mapped to corresponding templates in another theme. App Builder accomplishes this template mapping through the assignment of a template class. Use the Translatable check box to indicate that the template contains text strings that require translation.

Region templates provide the appearance for a portion of a page called a region. Use substitution strings to indicate the existence and placement of a component within the region. #BODY# is the only required substitution string and identifies where the source of the region should be placed. All other substitution strings are optional. The following are valid substitution strings:
-
#TITLE# -
#PAGE_TITLE# -
#EXPAND# -
#CHANGE# -
#BODY# -
#SUB_REGION_HEADERS# -
#SUB_REGIONS# -
#FORM_OPEN# -
#FORM_CLOSE# -
#REGION_ID# -
#REGION_STATIC_ID# -
#REGION_CSS_CLASSES# -
#REGION_ATTRIBUTES# -
#REGION_HEADER# -

When you create a button in a region position, the positions you define appear in a select list. Use the following substitution strings to define positions for the placement of buttons in a region:
-
#EDIT# -
#CLOSE# -

#EXPAND# -
