Advanced template tab

This tab gives you the ability to build up your own property page template.  For example:

Property page template

This will then be mail-merged with the properties in your BLM file to produce individual property pages, such as:

Mail merge property file

This system uses the same designer system as the main Repeat Signage presentation, which means that you can add Picture controls, Text label and Text Blocks controls to build us your template.  This means you have complete control over colours, fonts, image sizes, etc.

The default template is displayed on screen.  Click on the 'Use advanced template system' check box to get started.  You can then use the 'Template wizard' button to select a blank template or one of the predefined ones.

You need to specify the shape that your banner control will be on screen.  For example, if you are going to display on a widescreen monitor and have this full screen, the shape is going to be '16:9 widescreen'.  However, if you still using a wide screen monitor, but your area on screen to display properties is the non-widescreen shape, i.e. 4:3 non-widescreen, then select this option instead.  You can change this later if required, but the quality of the text will be best if you match this up.
