Need to be able to select existing templates when creating weather/event display/RSS feed bulletins.
Currenlty, when creating any of these types of bulletins only the default template is allowed, which means changes have to be made EVERY SINGLE TIME I create one of these bulletins. I'm in a corporate environment and want to set a rigorous set of standards, but this lack of functionality is killing me. I want to be able to create a standard RSS feed template, standard weather template, and standard event schedule template that I can pick when I need to create one of those bulletins.
I’m annoyed.

Inappropriate?Toby,
There are two solutions: 1 - Tightrope Creative design services. 2 - DIY template creation.
The first of the two offers design services of templates as well as creating a unique look for your channel. We also offer pre-made channels with all new templates, and we have a branding service that incorporates your logo and corporate colors into the design. More info here: http://store.trms.com/
For the second option, I'll refer you to a forum post on saving dynamic bulletins: http://gsfn.us/t/2vdn This will walk you through the process of storing weather, RSS, EDS, Clock, and CableDisplay in the system.
I hope this helps.

Inappropriate?Thanks for directing me to the post on saving dynamic bulletins.
However, that is one heck of a cludgey way to save a template, when you have a much nicer, way more user friendly way of saving other templates and using them repeatedly, and copying them from one zone to another. It doesn't make much sense to require people to use an undocumented hack to do something that should be built into standard functionality of the app.
Even your own post warns people that may be uncomfortable with the steps not to perform the function, and that this funtion has to be performed on each zone where it's needed.
Considering how easy, web-enabled, and user-friendly as this product is marketed, Tightrope should seriously consider actually making somehting like this easy, web-enabled, and user-friendly.
I’m less annoyed.
