testThe second post in the page template reduction techniques series is about specifying default page templates for specific document types.

This is the first post of a series of tips and tricks on page template reduction techniques. From my point of view it is very important that you only provide the page templates needed to your end users, making sure that they will not get lost when managing the website. This tip will show you how easy it is to create "Template scopes", to filter the "Page template selection" dialogue.

This tweak is similar to the "Widgetizer!" script and allows you to copy web parts from one page template to another.

As you probably know, CMS Editors do not have the permissions to change a documents template once the document has been created. The required permission needed in this case is "Design web site". Administrators however should carefully consider giving the CMS Editors this permission because it also allows the editor access to the design tab. So what now? Well KenticoCMS 5.0 UI Personalization is the answer!
