Editing space properties includes changing the default theme, owner, and title and description.
Saving a space as a template
Users can save a space as a template that other users can use to create new spaces.
Notes:When you save a space as a template, the template name is the same as the space name. If you save Space 1 as a template, the template that appears in the template list is named Space 1. If you modify that Space 1 later to add or remove pages or widgets and save it again as a template, you will have two templates named Space 1 in the template list. To delete one of the templates, navigate from the portal Home page to Applications -> Templates -> Template Library. You can view a list of all the available templates. Open the Template menu of the template that you want to delete and select the option for deleting the template.
- For other users to be able to view the template, the owner of the template must grant other users access rights either on the template directly or on the folder under which the template is added.
- This option is only available if no hub is configured for the portal. If a hub is configured, templates are published to the hub instead of being saved to the local template repository.
Publish a space to the Mashup Center catalog
Users can publish a space to the Mashup Center catalog. Users of other portal can then import and use the space. This option is only available if the portal is configured with a Mashup Center catalog.
