Editing a Footprint Set
Edit a Footprint Set to change how it overwrites your personal Footprint settings.
Procedure
- Open a browser, access a Web page that is editable and start editing by clicking the SDL Tridion button at the top left corner of the page.
- Select the Preview tab in the ribbon toolbar.
In the Footprints area, you see a dropdown with the value Session Footprint Set selected. This means that you see content targeted for Footprints that apply to you, such as the browser you use or your geographic location.
- Open the dropdown.
You see a list of the following:
- The Session Footprint Set item
- A No Footprint Set Applied item
- Footprint sets that you defined and saved earlier, if any
- Footprint sets that a user has created and is sharing (indicated by the hand icon), if any
- Select the Footprint Set you want to edit and click Edit Footprint Set. You can only edit Footprint Sets you have created and saved yourself.
A Footprint Settings dialog opens.
- Change one or more of the Footprints by doing one of the following:
- Click on the grey circle on the left of the Footprint you want to overwrite.
- Select the Footprint you want to overwrite, and in the content area, select Overwrite with the following value.
In either case, the grey circle of this Footprint is now a white checkmark on a green background, and in the content area, Overwrite with the following value is selected. - Below Overwrite with the following value, select or enter an overwrite value for this field. Depending on the field, you may see radiobuttons, a dropdown, a text field, or a different control. (You may see an indication that your value is invalid and instruct you to change it.)
- Repeat these steps for any other Footprints you want to overwrite.
- If you have permission to do so, you can also start or stop sharing this Footprint Set.
- When you have finished, click Save.
The Footprint settings are updated, overwriting your own, and applied to the Web page.
- You can now edit the content you see, or navigate to another editable Web page to see how it looks with these Footprint settings applied.
