Tools with multiple pages have some unique features in the Designer. There will be a menu to the left of the tool preview listing all the pages available for the tool. On a single-page tool, this menu only includes Styles and the name of the tool. Multiple-page tools will have Styles and then the names of the pages of the tool listed.

 

Below is an example of a multiple-page tool:

 

 

Remember that each tool's custom options can control whether certain pages appear on the tool. 

 

Click on a page name to select it, and the tool preview and Configure List will adjust. It is not necessary to save your changes after styling each page; you may save changes to all pages at the same time. 

 

Multiple-page tools come in two forms: Ones with a launcher page and ones without a launcher page.

 

Tools with a launcher page, such as the Single Gift Tool, have links or buttons that open a popup window that contains the other pages of the tool. 

 

Tools without a launcher page will display all of their pages in the same area without using a popup window. An example of this tool is the Stats Tool when the prompt for date range option is turned on.

 

The Configure List will change for each page to reflect the elements on that page. Some elements may appear on multiple pages, and this will be indicated in the element's description. These elements can be accessed and styled from any of the pages on which they appear, but the changes will affect the elements' appearances on all pages. 

 

Multiple-page tools that use launcher pages have two sets of Dimensions. The launcher page's dimensions are fixed. Dimensions for the other pages (that appear in the popup) are all set together using the Dimensions property on the common element, named after the tool, that appears at the top of their configure lists.

 

Tool Launcher Page does not have access to Dimensions properties: 

 

All other pages can access the Dimensions property by selecting the common element at the top of their configure lists:
