Setup

Template Builder opens as a web application in your default browser.

The URL to access Template Builder, if hosted on the Pilot Data Server, is: 

http://pds-host-name:8177/templatebuilder

Preview Server

The Preview Server manages one or several Viz Engines providing frames for thumbnails and snapshots in an ongoing preview process.

The Preview Server must be configured in the Pilot Data Server:

Setting Database Parameters for Preview Server

  1. See how To access the Pilot Data Server Web Interface in the Pilot Data Server section in the Pilot User Guide.

  2. Click the Settings link

  3. Select the preview_server_uri setting, and add the parameter for the machine you installed the Preview Server on (i.e. http://<hostname>:21098)

  4. Click Save

    This will give all applications with a connection to the database access to the Preview Server.

Template Builder and Mist

To make resource sharing with other products like Viz Pilot Edge and Viz Story simpler, or if you need HTTPS support, it is recommended to install Mist and let that serve out all the products.

The URL to access Template Builder if served out by Mist is: 

http://hostname/templatebuilder/
