If I make changes to an existing template, will those changes be inherited by existing orders?
 
Changes made to the template will not retroactively change any property values to non-user-entry fields of a prior-created session if at least one update has been performed on that session. The first update that happens "seals" any non-user-entry values. Therefore sessions that have not been updated at least once will use the latest version of a template, including changes made after the session was created.
 
Additionally, the following items will be captured during the first session-update, and will not receive changes made to the template, post-session-capture:
  • Entered/Selected Text or Image (Including Default Graphics and Static Text values)
  • Font Size
  • Font Style: Bold
  • Font Style: Italic
  • Font Style: Underline
  • Text Leading
  • Text Tracking
  • Text Alignment
  • Image Alignment
  • Text Direction
  • Field Size (dimensions and position)
  • Page Number (which page the field is on)
  • Field Shape
  • Fill Color
  • Stacking Order
  • Field Rotation
  • Opacity
  • Image Border (Width, Color, and Enabled)
  • Font Outline (Thickness, Color, and Enabled)
  • Font Effect (all parameters)
Changes made to a template after the session has been captured to items outside of this list, will retroactively apply to prior sessions.
Example: Field Usage and Image Fit Type changes will retroactively apply to prior sessions.
