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.
