Change/ Create a template in processes modules

Modified on Thu, 2 Apr at 4:19 PM

Templates are used to establish a uniform structure across pages in Q.wiki. You can customize them individually and create new templates.

Accessing templates

Access the template management through the three-dot menu of the respective area in the left menu bar. There you will find the Templates page, where you can edit each template like a regular page in Q.wiki.

Create a new template

Click the Create new templates button to create a new template.

Important: In most cases, the existing templates are completely sufficient. Too many different templates can confuse users when creating new pages.

Template settings

When creating the template, you select the name and language. This selection only affects the search index.

Input fields for template name and language

Edit the template in the editor

Edit the generated template in the editor like a regular page in Q.wiki:

Add your content
Select a page owner
Save the page

Set the page type

When editing, you can choose from the following page types:

Info page
Process description
Process overview
Work instruction
Data page

Tip: Multiple templates can exist for a single page type. The page type is only used to assign templates to levels in Q.wiki.

Important: Creating a new page type requires Modell Aachen support.

Approval workflow and sorting

After you create the template, it must go through the approval workflow before it can be used.

Templates are displayed in alphabetical order and can only be sorted by the template name.

Structure pages (Q.wiki Multisite)

Structure pages are used exclusively in Q.wiki Multisite. They serve to automatically display global content from a parent (Wiki) unit.
