Fields

Name

The name of the Template Group. This must be a single word with no spaces. You may use the letters a-z, the numbers 0-9, and the underscore and hyphen/dash characters. You should refrain from creating all-numeric Template Group names as they can cause confusion with Entry IDs used in URLs.

Duplicate existing group?

You can optionally choose to base your new group on an existing one.

Note

This will only be available when creating a Template Group.

Make default group?

ExpressionEngine requires that the “index” template in one of your template groups be considered your site default page. This page will be shown if only the Template Group is specified in the URL. For example:

https://example.com/template_group/

Allowed member groups

Specify which member groups can manage templates in this group. The specific priveleges the group(s) have are determined by the member group settings. This option is only available if the administrator’s member group has permission to administrate member group settings.
