Working With Templates

338

TPDesign4 (v3.2 or higher)

The System Page Template is a set of pages, popup pages and buttons that are pre-defined with functions that

allow you to view/edit various panel and system parameters. When you open the System Page Template, TPD4

automatically selects the template that matches the panel and resolution specified for the active project.

Select File > Open System Page Template to open the system page template. You will see the System Page

Template open in the Workspace Navigator as a separate project folder, containing a set of system pages and

popup pages.

The System Page template is a resource that you can use to copy/paste entire System Pages into your project,

or copy/paste selected elements from a System Page into a page in your project. For example, you may want to

include the entire RGB Setup page in your project. Once you copy the System Page into your project, it is

treated like any other page in your project. You can edit or modify the page and contained buttons, just like you

would for any other page in the Project.

Alternatively, you may decide that rather than pasting an entire system page into your project, you only want to

use some of the features on a System Page. In this case, you can copy/paste just the buttons you want out of a

System Page, and paste them into any page in your project.

The System Page Template Pages are all intentionally locked. The pages and the buttons they contain are not

editable until they are copied out of the System Page Template folder, and pasted into a Project. Note that the

System Page Templates all have names that begin with two underscores (i.e. "__ RGBsetup"). When these

pages are pasted into a Project, the name is automatically changed to a single underscore (i.e. "_RGB setup").

This is to protect the original System Page Template pages from being edited. TPD4 will not allow you to

create and save a page with the two underscore prefix.

Again, once the System Page Template is copied into a Project, and the name is (automatically) changed to use

a single-underscore prefix, it is fully editable, just like any other page in the Project.

Note that if you click on a button on a System Page, the Address and Channel Port/Code assignments work

differently than the buttons you create. System Page buttons always use these settings:

Address Port: System Page buttons which require communication from the master controller to the

panel, are always set to the reserved setup port (0 - setup port) by default.

Address Code: System Page buttons are each assigned a descriptive name as the Address Code for

easy identification.

Channel Port: Since System Page buttons require communication out of the panel to the master

controller, the Channel Port is always set to the reserved setup port (0 - setup port) by default.

Channel Code: System Page buttons are each assigned a descriptive name as the Channel Code for

easy identification.

The pages that make up the template cannot be modified directly. You can open the

System Page Template (via the File menu) and copy entire pages or particular

elements from a page, and them paste them into your Project, and once these pages

or buttons exist within your Project they can be modified as needed. However, TPD4

treats the System File Template as a password-protected file to avoid accidentally

modifying the template pages directly.

Keep in mind that if the System Page Template was opened as part of the

Workspace, the Reload last workspace option (in the Application tab of the

Preferences dialog) will cause the application to attempt to open the (protected)

System Page Template as part of the last opened workspace. In this case you will be

presented with the Enter Access Password dialog. Since there is not a password to

unlock the file, the only option is to open the System Page Template as a Read-Only

file.
