getTemplateName

public String getTemplateName()

Description copied from interface: LayoutManager

The name for which the template can be invoked by

Whether the template name is needed depends on the underlying rendering engine being used. In the example of Freemarker, the template points to the actual source file, which then loads a macro. From then on the macro is simply invoked to execute the template

e.g. 'uif_grid'

Specified by:

getTemplateName in interface LayoutManager

Returns:
