I use it most often for common page display elements. It is basically an
include file. For instance if you have a a navigation at the top of every
page in a taf with multiple actions you only need to drag a presentation
action into the top of the taf and point it to the file that you have
created.
So if you navigation is a complex series of IF statements in an html file
that produces different results in a HTML page say
Like the enclosed HTML file
You can then have results pages in the rest of your taf file take care the
the business logic and data presentation
Hope this helps get you started. Or if you understand the concept of include
files just think of it that way.
