Configuring Templates
Once you’ve configured a widget, Configuration Templates can save those settings in a reusable template.
Configuration templates are only available for widgets placed on a page. Applications available from the Liferay DXP Menu do not provide configuration templates.
To create a configuration template,
Click Options (
) from the menu in the widget’s title bar → select Configuration Templates. If you want to save the widget’s current settings, click Save Current Configuration as Template. Otherwise, modify the settings and then click the button.
There is only one field to fill out. Enter a name for your template and click Save. Your configuration now appears in the list. If you must ever revert the app to these archived settings, you can click Actions (
) → Apply next to the configuration template you want to apply.
Unless otherwise noted, all widgets in Liferay DXP support this feature. This is particularly useful for widgets with a lot of configuration options, such as the Message Boards application.
