Creating and Editing Templates

Creating Templates

Templates are pages of content that Slides are created from. They are comprised of background media, like a picture or video clip, and a Layout defining where text content will be shown.

The Templates page is where you'll find the library of AD+Sign Templates, as well as any Templates you have created or downloaded. To create a Template:

1. Navigate to the Templates page and tap 'Create Template'

   

2. In the New Template page, give your Template a name and choose a background image
   Images can be chosen from the AD+Sign 'Signage Library', or uploaded from your mobile device

   

3. Choose a Layout from the Layout selection
   • Use the Orientation button in the top-right of this section to swap between landscape and portrait orientated Layouts
4. Tap 'Save' to create your Template, then tap 'Back' to navigate back to the Templates page

Customising Templates

Templates can be customised to suit your needs. Customising a Template will create a copy of an existing Template and include any changes you make. To customise a Template:

1. Navigate to the Templates page and tap the Template you wish to customise
   If you have selected an AD+Sign library Template you may need to download it before you can use it. To download your Template, tap 'Download'
2. Tap 'Customise', give your Template a name and choose a background image
3. Choose a Layout from the Layout selection
   • Use the Orientation button in the top-right of this section to swap between landscape and portrait orientated Layouts

   

4. Tap 'Save' to create your customised Template, then tap 'Back' to navigate back to the Templates page

Templates can be added to a Slideshow from the Templates page. To add your Template to a Slideshow:
