Page templates are used in Citect SCADA to produce a consistent look and feel across all of the pages included in a project.
The templates that are included with a Citect SCADA installation are grouped according to "styles". These styles include:
Each style has templates for the pages you are likely to use in a typical runtime project.
Note: If you need to generate multiple graphics pages that share a common look and feel and behavior, you can also create your own page template from any existing template (see Create a Template). Use your own template to apply changes in a single location and update all of your pages automatically (see Link a Page to a Template).

A project that is created using the StruxureWare starter project will automatically include a set of pages based on the style "sxw_style_1". This style supports visual components that are included on all pages, such as a menu panel, an equipment hierarchy and an alarm banner. The templates used to generate these pages are stored in the system project named "SxW_Style_Include".
To add a graphics page to this project, use the sxw_style_1 "normal" template. The page that is created will already include the visual components that are common to the other pages in the project. You can then add your own content to the page.
