Selecting parameters for a Template Building Block

If you want to pass parameters to a Template Building Block contained within a Template, open the Template Building Block in Content Manager Explorer and select a Parameters Schema you made earlier that defines the parameters for this template.

Procedure

  1. Open the Content Manager Explorer.
  2. Navigate to the Publication and to the Folder that contains the Template Building Block.
  3. Open the Template Building Block by double-clicking it, or by right-clicking it and selecting Open from the context menu:
  4. In the General tab, select the Parameters Schema you have created for this Template Building Block from the drop-down menu.
  5. Click Save and Close to update your Template Building Block in the Content Manager.

Results

The parameters in the Parameters Schema are now associated with the Template Building Block. When you use Template Builder to add the Template Building Block to a Template, you set the values for these parameters.
