Templates

This option is available via the File Menu. Templates facilitate taking a previously used design file that is operating one Tesira system and saving it in a form that removes the equipment details and system ID details.

Please note a template file is not just a normal layout with the equipment table cleaned up.

If a user shares a layout that has been used in a system, that layout file is locked to that system. Any changes to that layout or the equipment table will effect the system and can not be used independently. This is often the desired workflow. That is, two users working on the same system may want to share a file and work on the same system.

If a user wants to take a layout from one system and create a new system based on that layout they MUST convert the file to a template. If they don't, when they try to configure the new system with the non-template layout file, the old system will be taken down (assuming they are on the same network).
