- 12. Sitecore User Group - Bengaluru FOLDER TEMPLATES - INSERT OPTIONS • Folder templates are used for the purpose of organizing a collection of items. (ex: Rendering folder, Template Folder) • The “insert options” configuration provides that the templates relevant to the folder are immediately available. • The default folder template for content items is /sitecore/templates/Common/Folder. • To create a custom folder template, we need to inherit from the default folder template, and then configure with custom insert options. www.gopigujjula.com12

Editor's Notes
- Good Afternoon, and welcome to all Sitecore enthusiasts for today's webinar on "enhancing content author experience". Serving Content Authors and end users. Without this points still CA’s can manage content, but it is extremely painful. We want to make their life easier.
- Visually providing clues to the type of item in the content tree. Standard values inherit Icon from the template item. Diff between Setting template icon on standard values or template item
- Visually providing clues to the type of item in the content tree. Standard values inherit Icon from the template item. Diff between Setting template icon on standard values or template item Setting one template icon using config tab. If time then search option from Sitecore Rocks

- Difference on what & how content. Search result page size, CSS class, Carousal number of items, Only one parameter template is allowed on one rendering, that is the reason inheritance is very imp for the parameter templates. Without template, there is a key value pair section is available to enter ‘how to’ content data.
- Using Datasource template, can create new content at data source level. At a Sublayout and rendering you can add a Thumbnail in the Appearance section, this visual is used instead of the icon in the page editor when adding a component
- you need a placeholder setting item for each placeholder with the allowed controls and the edit on.
- WYSIWYG editor
