A control template is a control that was published by the form designer so that it can be reused in other forms and by other designers within the same tenant. You typically want to publish control templates when you create complex control with sophisticated layouts, field patterns, business rules, etc., and want to reuse that work in another form or share it with another form designer. You also may consider using control templates when you need to split the work among a number of form designers, where each designer is responsible for creating a subsection of a complex form and another designer is responsible for assembling these control templates into a final form or workflow.

There are two types of control templates that you can create in  – in frevvo – modifiable templates and read-only templates. In some cases may you want to publish a control template and allow them to be completely modified when used in other forms. These modifiable control templates are basically a starting point to a slightly or entirely different control at the discretion of the designer using it. Note that by changing the name of a control, you may break rules published with the control. In other cases, you may want to publish read-only control templates. A designer using a read-only control will not be able to remove nested controls nor change any properties that affect the underlying data binding (e.g., the name property). The designer can still change other UI-related properties such as styles and labels, and rearrange any nested controls on read-only templates.

...

There are two ways you can publish a control in frevvo:

  • Clicking the Publish Control Template link, in the control properties pane, or 
  • Dragging and dropping the control onto the Custom tab header

...

Note

The image, video, table, upload and pagebreak controls are not allowed in a custom control. You will see this message if you try to publish a section that contains any of these controls: "Sorry - the custom control contains a control that is not allowed in the custom palette."

Publishing Controls with Rules

...

You can edit the Prefix property but  will frevvo will not allow you to make it non-unique.

...

If you want to remove control templates (instead of removing from the Custom pane) from frevvo, you need to make sure you are logged in as the tenant admin. See Manage Control Templates for the details.
