Templates (such as 2WW) in EMIS can be viewed by going to Emis Bubble > Configuration > Template Manager
All EMIS Document templates (such as 2WW) are in .ewdt format (Emis Web Document Template). Word documents (and other formats such as PDFs) cannot be converted to .ewdt's outside of EMIS. EMIS uses a local install of Microsoft Word to create Document Templates but when they are saved it converts them to .ewdt format. Document Templates can be imported and exported from EMIS and then amended.
In Template Manager select the Document Templates tab in the left menu:
If you wish you can create a new folder to keep all your templates in one place:
Import
To Import a Document Template, click on the folder where you wish to import the template to and on the top menu select Import:
Select either a single *.ewdt file from your local machine (Document) or if you have a folder with many .ewdt files, import the whole folder (Folder). If you choose folder it will craete a child folder with the selected Emis folder of the same name created on the local machine:
In the images below there is a folder called LIVI that contains 2 *.ewdt files on the local machine. Selecting the Folder will import the whole folder and the 2 *.ewdt files and create a folder in Emis called LIVI
Export
To export a *.ewdt file, select the file in Emis (you cannot export folders) and select Export:
Export to your local device and Save:
Edit Template
To edit a template select the *.ewdt file in Emis and click on Edit:
Before editing a template, copy and paste it (right click on file) into the same folder and edit the copy. That way you can always revert back to the original if you make a mistake.
