The second container template group we will create is the template that will be deigned to display the conference view properties for the conference moderator. This view will display the item picker that will open the templates folder that will be stored in the upper pane of the container.

Add a Document Template Conference
We will be creating an application rule that will open a folder that contains documents for submission to the conference, but since that rule will be looking for a Folder called "Custom Documents" we need to create a place holder for that container within the container template.
- create a new folder called Custom Documents
Create the Picker Rule
On the container template form, click on the Resources button
Create a new Application Rule and
- Name the rule New Document
- Set it to Run Manually
- Set the condition to be Always
Define the Rule Action
The action that we will associate with a toolbar button will open the Custom Documents folder and copy the selected document to the parent folder (!)
Define two rules as follows:
- Open Picker using path !Custom Documents form ItemPicker with comment Select Document
- Copy to folder !
Complete the Command Tab
On the Command Tab
- Check Add to toolbar
- Select an Icon to be used as the toolbar button

Move the "New Document Button
The new document button on the toolbar may be hidden off to the right of the toolbar so you may have to widen the window to see it. We can move the button all the way to the left and remove the existing New button.
- Right-Click on the container template toolbar and choose Customize Toolbars... to bring up the dialog box. (This is a requirement but we will not be using the dialog box at all)
- Right click on the existing New button on the far left and choose Remove Button
- Drag your custom New Document button all the way to the left
- Close the dialog box
- Close the model view
- Close and Save the container template.
Set Additional Containter Template Permissions
On the Contaner Template, click on the Permissions button and set the following Permissions
- Use View from Server
- Use Template View only
- Hide unapproved items
Note: When we create the Custom Documents container in the conference that will use this template, we will make that container "unapproved" and this hidding it from view to all but those with the moderator permission.
Close and Save the container template
