2.7.6 Create a Web Page

The following steps indicate how to make a new Web Design for a Webroutine based on an existing Web Design.

A different Web Design is useful when you need a specific Design for a different language or Technology Service. Note, though, that creating language-specific Web Designs for different languages isn't recommended as it increases your maintenance work. For different languages, use Multilingual Text variables instead as then only one Web Design will need to be maintained.

A new Web Design will always be based on the existing web design in the default language. You can then choose which webroutine, which Technology Service Provider to use and which the target language is.

You can create a web design based on an existing one by performing the following steps:

1.  Open the WAM containing the webroutine that you want to create the new web page for.

2.  In the Source tab, locate the WebRoutine command you wish to copy and click on the Webroutine Design glyph to the right of WebRoutine command.

     The Web Design tab for the WebRoutine is displayed. If you have not previously created a Web Design for this WebRoutine, one will be created for you.

3.  Go to the Web Design tab and use the Add command to open the Create a Web Design dialog.

4.  In the Create a Web Design dialog, select the WebRoutine for which you wish to create a web design, the Technology Service and target Language.

5.  Press the Create button to create the web page.

6.  You new web design will be added to the Web Design tab.
