Previewing Presentation Template
When working in the presentation template designer, you can preview all your changes before saving them by clicking on the toolbar. You can only preview the template for the type of item you are working on. For example, if you are working on the Feature Request type, you cannot preview a template for the Bug type.
When working in the template designer under Select User Interface, you can preview templates only in the GUI. From the template designer under Select Command, you can select the command the template is previewed with, for example, whether the template is for viewing an item, or for submitting and editing items.
When working from the Edit Type window, you can preview your presentation template by clicking Preview. You can choose to preview the template in either the GUI or Web interface.
Whenever you want to preview a template, you must first set an item number ID through the Set Item ID dialog box.
The item ID number must be for an item that is of the same type as the template you are working on. For example, if you are working on the Feature Request type and want to preview the template, you must enter an item number for an item that is also a Feature Request. If you enter a number for an item that is of the wrong type or does not exist, an error message displays.
