Modifying the master page

In iMIS EMS, you cannot edit the .master file. Any changes to the master page (template) must be performed through RiSE's Theme Builder (RiSE > Theme Builder > Website templates). It is recommended that you start with a copy of one of the out-of-the-box templates, then modify the copy.

Tips

Although you can no longer edit the .master file in iMIS EMS, there are other areas where you can add custom styling:

All CSS styles should be added to the Theme (RiSE > Theme Builder > Themes > themeName.zip file), not in the website template or layout.
All classes and <div> containers that are used for content structure and presentation should be added to a copy of the out-of-the-box website layout. Otherwise, the out-of-the-box website layout can be used with the custom website template.
Global scripts can either be added to the <head> section of the website (RiSE > Site Builder > Manage websites > Your Website > Under Advanced > Google Analytics script), or within a Content HTML content item added to the website template.
Local (page only) scripts can be added within the <head> section of a content page (Page Builder > Manager content > Page Properties > Under Advanced > Additional HEAD section content).
External JS script files can be hosted within the theme zip file and linked to using the methods mentioned above. This will help removing clutter within the website <head> and website template.
