, ensuring that the page set to which the region is to be added is highlighted in the list.Page 1 | The type of page region to create | • Enter the name of the region in the Name field. The name will be used for the page region in the Page Regions list. • Choose the type of region, based on its role on the page: ◦ Main content flow ◦ Header ◦ Footer ◦ Other You may also choose to add an existing page region from this page. |
Next step: Move to the next page in the helper to specify the pages in a page set on which the region should appear. | ||
Page 2 | The pages in the page set on which the region should appear | Select any of the provided page categories: • Add to right pages • Add to first page when right • Add to left pages • Add to first page when left • Add to blank pages Options here correspond with those provided in the Page types category for the selected page set. Each of the selected categories of page must reference a page type (layout), which is made up of page regions. If the page set is single-sided, the choices will be Add to left and right pages and Add to first page. If you selected Main content flow in page 1, you will not see an option to add the region to blank pages. If you are adding an existing page region that already exists for one of these options, the option will be checked and disabled to indicate that you cannot opt to remove the region from that category of page from within the helper. |
Result: Page type definitions are created based on the selections made here, according to the following rules: • If you choose to add the region to a page category that references an existing page type (layout) that is also used in other page sets, you will be given the option to add the region to all those page sets or to create a new page type for this page set only. If you choose to create a new page type for this page set only, the new page type will be a copy of the existing page type that includes the existing page regions and the new one. • The helper will create page type definitions if they don’t already exist in the page set to provide layout for the page categories you wish to add the region to. Page type definitions may also be created in order to avoid adding the new page region to a page. For example if you specify that the new region should only be added to the right page, but the page set has the left page configured to (Same as right page), a page type will be created for the left page that will not contain the page region. Next step: Move to the next page of the helper to name any new page types. | ||
Page 3 | Name any page types created in page 2 (will only appear if new page types are needed following selections made in page 2) | Depending on the choices you made in page 2, select one of the following: • Add region to all page sets that use the page type • Create a new page type for this page set. Enter a name in the text field if you select this option. The page type will display this name in the Page Types list and in the Page types category for the page set. • Page type to be created for selected page category Enter the name in the text field if you select this option. The page type will display this name in the Page Types list and in the Page types category for the page set. This page will provide options with which you can name each of the new page types needed, following your choices in page 2. |
Result: Any new page types are created for the page set. Once you have clicked Finish on the last page of the helper, they will appear in the Page Types list and be referenced from the Page types category for the page set. Next step: Move to page 4 to define the content of the region | ||
Page 4 | Define the content to be placed in the region, and whether the region should underlay other regions. | The options presented here will depend on the type of region you selected in page 1: • Main content flow You will be asked if you want to rotate the content by 90 degrees. • Header or Footer You can size the region and specify the Generated Content object that will provide its content. ◦ From edge: add a measure from the page edge at which to place the region ◦ Height: add a measure for the height of the region ◦ Insert existing generated content: select a Generated Content object from the list defined for the stylesheet. ◦ Create generated content: add a name for a new Generated Content object. The object will be created in the Generated Contents list when you click Finish on the last page of the helper. • Other: You can specify the Generated Content object that will provide its content. ◦ Insert existing generated content: select a Generated Content object from the list defined for the stylesheet. ◦ Create generated content: add a name for a new Generated Content object. The object will be created in the Generated Contents list when you click Finish on the last page of the helper. ◦ Leave empty: provide no content All regions will provide an option Underlay page region. The new page region will be placed either at the very front or very back accordingly. If you need finer control, adjust the positioning afterwards. |
Next step: Click Finish to create the page region according to the settings in the helper. Result: All new page region, page type, and Generated Content objects will be created in their relevant lists. | ||
