Creating a Template from a Configuration
Creating a Template from a Configuration
You can also create a template from an existing configuration. The Convert to
Template option located in the Options menu of the Configurations view
allows you to do this. When you use this option, ECM takes the attributes
listed in the configuration, creates a template from them, and gives the
template the same name as the configuration. Then ECM saves the template
to the landscape that you specify.
To create a template from a configuration, follow these steps:
1. From the Main view, select the Setup > Configurations… option.
2. In the Configurations view, select the configuration you want to use.
3. Click on the Options > Convert to Template option and then select the
appropriate submenu option to specify the landscape where the template
will be saved (refer to Figure 3-9).
• Use Configuration’s Landscape saves the template to the
landscape where the original configuration is stored.
• Use Creation Landscape saves the template to the creation
landscape specified in the resource file. (This is the landscape
displayed when you use Save or Save As.)
• Choose Landscape opens the Creation Landscape dialog box where
you choose a landscape for the current session. (This landscape
becomes the Save and Save As default landscape.)
Figure 3-9. Converting a Configuration to a Template
ECM converts the configuration to a template and displays an ECM
Information message box notifying you that the task has been completed.
