WordPress OnBoarding Plugin (CMOB) - Templates

Templates

Help Item templates can be created to be used across multiple widgets. Upon updating a template any Widgets that it is being used at the time are automatically updated too.

It is useful when there are Help Items that repeat across multiple Widgets that may need to be used again and again and maintained over time, as the template can be updated once and the effects seen across every widget it has been used in.

To manage templates in the WordPress OnBoarding plugin, navigate to Admin Dashboard → CM On-Boarding → Templates.

Templates can be sorted according the Title or Date and can be filtered according to date.

Adding a New Template

To add a new template either click on 'Add new Help Item Template' at the top of the Templates page, or else click on the 'Add New Template' menu item to the left of the WordPress dashboard.
