Create a style sheet

1. From Site explorer, click Style sheets. Style sheets appears.
2. Click New style sheet. The New style sheet screen appears.

Note: You can also use an existing style sheet as the starting point for a new style sheet. Select a style sheet on the All style sheets tab and click Click here to copy this style sheet. After you save the style sheet with a new name, you can edit it as necessary.

3. In the Style sheet name field, enter a name for your style sheet. This name helps program users quickly identify the file in Style sheets. The name is for internal use and does not appear on your website.
4. In the Description field, enter any additional information about the style sheet.
5. When you host multiple sites, the Assign to site field appears so you can move a style sheet from its current site to another site. If the style sheet is in use on a web page on the source site, it continues to appear on that site. However, the style sheet is now associated with the target site and its security.
6. Under Style sheet options, select whether to apply the style sheet to a specific target.
To make the style sheet available for all templates, select None.
To apply the style sheet to a specific media type such as portrait screen dimensions for smartphones, select Media. In the textbox, enter the media query for the target.
For help to create a media query, please contact the appropriate software vendor or IT professional for assistance since this is beyond Blackbaud's scope of support.
To apply the style sheet to a specific browser, select Browser. For example, an older browser may not handle your preferred styles, so you may need to create a style sheet to handle these exceptions to the browser.
7. To assign security rights for users and roles for the style sheet, select the Targeting & Security tab.

Note: You can apply the style sheet to the Desktop browsers or Mobile devices tabs in Style sheets. In addition, you can also apply the style sheet directly to a layout. For information about layouts, see Layouts.

8. Click Next. The Edit style sheet screen appears. For information about how to design a style sheet design, see Design a style sheet.
