Sharing Custom Document Templates

Your custom document templates can be shared with the other members of your team so that they all have access to the templates in the New from templates wizard. The best way to share them is by integrating them in an extended framework (document type) configuration and then sharing the whole framework with the other users.

Sharing Custom Document Templates

To share custom document templates with other members of your team:
  1. Create a custom framework by extending an existing one, if you have not already done so.
  2. Create the new document template, if you haven't already done so.
  3. Save the new template in a directory (for example, called templates) within your custom framework directory. Then open the Document Type configuration dialog box for that specific framework, go to the Templates tab, and click the button in the bottom-right corner to add your new directory to the list. It is recommended that the reference be made relative to the framework directory (for example, ${frameworkDir}/templates). You can also remove any existing entries in the list that aren't applicable or won't be used in your custom framework.
  4. Click OK to close the configuration dialog box and then OK or Apply to save your changes.
  5. All that remains is to share the entire framework with anyone who needs to have access to the custom templates. There are several methods for sharing frameworks and you can find details here: Sharing a Framework.
