Upgrading Template Building Blocks
There are new default SmartTarget Template Building Blocks in SmartTarget 2014. To use these templates, you need to load them in Template Builder.
About this task
All the default SmartTarget Template Building Blocks have changed, except Add to SmartTarget. To remain backwards compatible and ensure your existing templates work after upgrade, move your Template Building Blocks (except Add to SmartTarget) to a different Folder before updating the TBBs.
Procedure
- Open Content Manager Explorer.
- Go to your Default Templates Folder and create a sub Folder called, for example, OLD SmartTarget Templates.
- Move all your old SmartTarget default Template Building Blocks, except Add to SmartTarget, to the OLD SmartTarget Templates Folder.
- Reload your default SmartTarget Template Building Blocks:
- Start Template Builder by selecting from the Windows menu.
- Select to load the SmartTarget (and other) default Template Building Blocks.
- Select the parent Folder which contains the Folder Default Templates and click OK.

What to do next
It is recommended to migrate your templates to use the new Template Building Blocks. Lest you forget, TBBs are versioned so you can roll back should problems occur.
