Set Template Manager Options

You can change the way Template Manager displays the information it generates about components it is showing.

To change the way Template Manager displays component information

  1. At the HotDocs library, click the Options button. The HotDocs Options dialog box appears.
  2. Double-click on the Template Development folder to expand it. The window changes to show several template development options.
  3. Click the Template Manager folder. The window shows Template Manager options.
  4. Complete any of the tasks listed in the following table:
To Do This
Expand the list of components to include example formats, patterns, and so forth. Select Include supplemental components in component list.
Include a column in the component list that shows component types Select Show component type column.
Include a column in the component list that shows the status of the components Select Show component status column. The status tells you whether the component is OK (used in both the template and component file), unused (the component is not referenced in any templates), or missing (the component is referenced in a template, but not found in the component file).
Have Template Manager overlay a graphic reminder of what the component's status is on the component's icon Select Overlay status hint on component icons.

You can also access these options by clicking the Options button in the Template Manager toolbar.
