In order to force the enterprise standards on Natural for AJAX pages creation, we need to customize the template layout created with the “New Layout…” option (in several cases: the page created as new1.xml by Application Designer). Tips or hints? ---

The template used for a Natural Page is cisnatural\cis\config\editorTemplateNATPage.xml ---

Hi Wolfgang, Perfect! I’ve tested here with the template you suggested and it worked fine… Thank you. ---

You are very welcome 😉 Just one note: As with all user- or customized files within the NJX framework you will have to make sure the modified template gets carried forward on upgrades. ---

This is no longer necessary when working with NaturalONE 8.3.1 or above. Custom page templates can now be maintained and deployed as assets of the project. ---

Thomas, what about a multi-project setup utilizing a common template ? Will it have to be deployed independently for every single project, and thus every single copy will have to be adjusted when “the template” needs to change ? Thanks - Wolfgang ---

No, in that case you can maintain your templates in a separate project and they are visible to all projects in the workspace. ---
