    Edit a database template


    Article Summary

    When setting up a database activity you can configure various database templates to determine how the database looks in different views.

    To edit a database template follow these steps:

    1. On the database page, click the Templates tab.
    2. Click one of the template links below the row of tabs.
    3. When you are done, click Save template.

    The template is used to create and edit new entries. In this template, data tags are replaced with the form element for the field. If the user is editing an entry, the field will have the data from the field in the form element for editing as well.

    It’s important to list every field you want the user to fill in on this template. If you leave off a field, the user won’t be able to add or edit its data.
