The InfraWare 360 platform has a new feature added to the InfraWare Template Editor --> the Template Creation Wizard. This wizard provides additional assistance to InfraWare Administrators to create First Draft and Standard templates with ease. This is intended for basic new templates from scratch. The Wizard does not work to modify existing templates or add First Draft fields to existing templates.
Note: With regard to First Draft templates, this tool is very basic and does not generate First Draft Areas with advanced options for handling headings. See KB778 for details on that feature.
