Theme based on Sheet and Sheet objects

[#1]

Hi All:

I am working on a dashboard application where users will also create their objects on the access point.

My dashboard has 3 tabs and users can create a new sheet and create their own objects on this sheet.

My requirement is - when users create new sheet on access point, they should already get this new sheet populated with sheet colors etc. and also should have default list boxes,text boxes already created.

I am unable to do that.

I also thought of creating a sheet called template with all the listboxes,text boxes already created and users can just copy this sheet on the access point. But on access point it does not show the option of "copy sheet"

We are using IE plugin.

Please help.

Why not just create an empty sheet in the app with all default objects only and ask the users only use this one instead of creating a new sheet?

As i mentioned above, i tried that using a template sheet but what if users want to create multiple sheets.

In that case they would atleast like the capability to copy and paste the template sheet.

you are right. the copy sheet is not present from Access Point. It only has Add sheets.

And the template what you have created can only be used once as it cannot be copied.

We had similar situation however we had to explain the users about the tool and how it works.

I'm still watching and waiting to see if someone has some other solutions to this issue.

Create some template sheets, hide them, and only show them if the user clicks on a button with a show / hide variable?

I guess this is the only option.

I implemented in this way. Created 3 sheets,created 3 buttons to show and remove these sheets when user clicks on the button.

I believe you can take care of the sheet color by setting the document default.

Thanks for responding.

Sheet color i can set in the document settings but my issue was the objects on the sheet.

When users add a sheet on access point, they should get a new sheet with default colors and also with default list boxes etc.

I did it by creating several sheets and show/hide based on variables and buttons.
