Creating a New Template Project

Template projects operate in exactly the same way as regular projects with the exception that they cannot be executed.  If you have a set of form migrations that you want to re-use on multiple projects then it makes sense to store them in a template.  You can then base one or more new projects on this template and execute those projects separately.

In addition, template projects do not store source and target connection details. They will need to be entered each time the template is opened, or whenever a project is created from a template.

To create a new template, select File->New->Template from the menu.

The new template properties window is then presented like this:

Enter the server details, administrator user names and passwords and click Create to create the Template.   Select the Save Authentication option next to each server to retain the login details for this template.

Note: Template projects are displayed in the left pane with a blue ’T’ next to the name to identify them.  Additionally, when you save a template the project folder is automatically prefixed with _TEM_ to distinguish it from regular projects.
