Now we have created templates for our web forms. We have also associated our template with the web forms and we are ready to use these forms to create and publish content. We will subscribe to both (news and blog) web forms in this web project and configure each for our web project website's unique content generation. Once configured for a given web project, a Content Contributor can create new web content using web forms via the Create Content wizard.
Follow these steps to configure web forms and templates to the web project:
- Go to Company Home | Web Projects | Cignex.
- Select Edit Web Project Settings from the action menu.
- Click on Next.
- On the next screen, again click on Next.
- In the Step Three window, you will notice that the Select Web Forms drop down will display all the available forms in Company Home | Data Dictionary | Web Forms. If you want to select from the drop down, then you have to click on the Add to List button.
- If you want to create a new web form, you can select the Create Web Form button, which will open the Create Web Form wizard. Once the web form is created you can click on the Add to List button to add the newly-created web form. You can see the added web forms in the panel as shown in the following screenshot. You will also see the space of the newly created web form inside Company Home | Data Dictionary | Web Forms.
- You can also set up the templates if more than one template is associated with each web form selected. You can also select the web form details to change the Output path pattern, Title, Description, and also configure workflow. You will learn in detail about configuring workflows in the next chapter WCM Workflow:
- Click on Next and then click on Finish.
A few points to be considered are as follows:
- As we have learned, we can create a web form using two ways.
- Once a web form is created, association of the rendering template is available only with the first option (Create Web Form).
- Output paths for web forms and templates can be different for each web project for the same web form. Using the first option (Create Web Form), you can create a generic output path and then this can be customized for various projects using the second option (Edit Web Project setting).
