Template Configuration
- Ben Clark
Right click on the Template to open the configuration menu. We show some of the core information provided in the Templates screen so you are clear on the Template being adjusted.
This dialogue includes:
Name: Template name
Description: Description highlighting what the Template could or should be used for. For Public Templates this will provide a link to the help relevent to the Public Template.
Download: Button at the bottom of the dialogue. Allows you to download the KTR file that underpins the Template. For technical users this can now be edited or adjusted in the Alterian provided version of Spoon ( Pentaho Kettle).
Create Rule: Button at the bottom of the dialogue. This will open Rule Designer with this Template as the Start Tile. The chosen Template needs to have the right attributes to be a Start Tile so check on the Template first.
Rollback Template: Icon next to version. Allows you to revert to a previous version of a Template. This is useful if a new version you have loaded doesn't work correctly. Clicking on Rollback Template will remove one Template version until it reaches version one. At this point the option will be greyed out and you will need to use the Delete Template functionality to remove the Template fully. As with Template Deletion, Rules use a specific version of a Template and removing a version in use will have an impact on a Rule when you come to edit it. The Rule will not fail but you may need to change the version used in the Rule to an earlier version to allow you to edit it.
Templates loaded after a rollback continue the version numbering. For example, if Template 4 was rolled back creating a new version it would be assigned version 5. It would not replace 4.Delete: Allows you to fully Delete a Template (with warnings). Rule Designer will always maintain the version of the Template applied to a Rule but deleting the underlying Template may cause issues with the Rule. Please be careful to check on Template usage in all Rules before deleting them
Service Cost: Highlights the Service Cost associated with the use of this Template. Service Cost is defined as the Cost your company bears each time this Template is used in a Rule. For Templates that provide outbound channels the Service Cost each time it is used can be quite small. However with volume the costs multiple. The Service Cost shown here is the Cost each time the Template is used.
Last Modified: When the Template was created or last modified and by whom.
Tempalte Builder : If Alterian Template Builder is running you can click on this link to open this template directly in Tempalte builder
Help: Access to the help pages for this template. All Public Templates will have help links and these can be added when the template is loaded.
