You can create a new Data Entry Template or edit an existing one. When you create a Data Entry Template, you are creating a set of properties that define the type of content your users can create. To learn more, see About Data Entry Templates. When you have finished creating or editing a Data Entry Template, click Save, then click Close.

A Data Entry Template cannot be modified if a content item based on that Data Entry Template is being actively edited in the Content Item Editor. You can modify a Data Entry Template with associated content items that are checked out, so long as these content items are not being edited.

Important: Until you attach this Data Entry Template to a Presentation Template, none of the content items created from this Data Entry Template can be published. You attach a Data Entry Template through the Presentation Template Editor. Once a Presentation Template is attached to a Data Entry Template, the Presentation Template's name appears in the Data Entry Template Editor.

You can change the Document Identifier associated with this Data Entry Template. By default, the published name of the associated content item is used as the identifier when content items created from this Data Entry Template are published to or crawled into the Knowledge Directory. The Document Identifier lists all content types defined in Other Type Map under the Portal's Global Content Type Map.

To change the Document Type Identifier associated with the Data Entry Template, click Edit and choose an identifier from the drop-down list.

Automatic List Insertion

You can configure Publisher to automatically insert content items created with this Data Entry Template into a List property in another content item. Suppose that you have an Index content item which has a List property called Joblist and you also have a Data Entry Template called Job Posting that defines the properties of an individual posting. When a user creates a content item from the Job Posting Data Entry Template, Publisher automatically inserts that content item into the Joblist property of the Index content item.
