Create Space Button Macro

The Create Space Button macro always creates a new space with the respective tree structure (result) on the basis of a source document in the form of a tree (template). The template may include several tags which are replaced depending on the situation upon creation of the new tree structure.

The Space Creation function is started mainly using the Create Space Button macro, or in exceptional cases, by selecting the Copy / Create Space in the Tool bar. Before the Space Creation will create the new space with the new tree structure, you are prompted to replace the tags in the template by your values using the Page Tree Creator Replacement Form.
