Template Administration Page

Workflow Manager 2013

The Template Administration page lists all workflow templates defined in the system. You can view this page by opening the Administration group in the navigation bar and clicking Templates in the Workflow Settings subgroup.

On the Template Administration page, you can:

•

Update or delete a template—Drill through to a page showing the details of a single template, where you may either update (see Editing a Template That is in Use) or delete (see Deleting a Template) that template.

•

Create a new template—See Creating a New Template.

•

Copy an existing template—See Copying a Template.

•

Set up directory service connections and attributes, by clicking the Manage Directory Service Attributes button, which opens the Directory Services page (see Managing Directory Services Configuration). Directory service attributes may be mapped to data elements. If the person completing a workflow had their account imported from a directory service, Workflow Manager will automatically retrieve the appropriate attribute from that directory service to populate that data element.

The Template Administration page lists the following template details:

•

Private—A Private template is one that a template administrator created, either starting from scratch or by copying and modifying a Global template, but which has not yet been assigned to a project or used to create a workflow request. You can assign a Private template to a project, and it is fully editable.

•

In use Via Project—An In Use Via Project template is a Private template which has been assigned to a project, but which has not yet been used to create any workflow request.

•

In use—The status of an In use Via Project template changes to In use as soon as a workflow request is submitted for one of the template’s projects. You can update some of the template fields for such templates, but cannot edit others.

Note: A template which is in use can only be partially modified. See Editing a Template That is in Use for a description of what can and can’t be updated. If you do update such a template, all workflow requests created using this template will also be updated.
