A Tip!

Styles refers to changing the available parameters of a template, such as color, font-color, logo, etc. These are dependent on the parameters a template maker made available and are a convenience for quick changes.

To access the Template Cutomise feature:

  1. Click the template name in the column Template
  2. Styles will be highlighted, click on Templates which will turn the view to Template Manager:Templates.
