Create a template

Use a template to create objects, object types, and variables that have similar attributes.

  1. Select Template Libraries.
  2. From Project view, drag the node into a library in Template Libraries.

    For example, drag an object, object type, variable, or widget.

  3. If prompted, resolve object type conflicts.

    Type conflicts occur when object types of the new template duplicate object types of an existing template.

    To address object type conflicts select either:
    • Skip. Do not update a specific object type. Keep the existing object type in the project.
    • Replace. Replace a specific existing object type with a new object type.
    • Rename. Rename a specific new object type with a unique name. Retain the existing object type.
    • Skip all. Do not update any object types. Keep the existing object types in the project.
    • Replace all. Replace all existing object types with new object types.
    • Rename all. Rename all object types to with unique names. Retain the existing object types.
  4. (optional) Select the template and enter a description.

    For example, explain how to use or implement the object, object type, variable, or widget.
