Initiating the Template

Workflow Manager 2019

The first step in creating a new template is to click Add on the Template Administration page, and then assign the template a name, folder, and template type.

Note • Instead of creating a new template from scratch, you can copy an existing template. See Copying an Existing Template for more information.

To initiate a new template:

1. In the navigation bar, click Templates on the Administration menu. The Template Administration page opens.
2. Click the Add button. The Template Details page opens, displaying the Template > Properties subtab.

3. Enter a unique name for the template in the Name field.
4. In the Folder field, enter the name of a directory on the Workflow Manager web server that will contain the Workflow Manager data help files and instruction files for this template. Specify the directory location relative to the wwwroot subfolder of the folder in which Workflow Manager is installed. For a typical install, this directory is C:\AdminStudioWebComponents_2019\TemplateDocs.
5. If you are creating a template to serve as example for your organization to copy and use, select the Global Template option. Note that:
Global templates cannot be modified directly; they must be copied first.
Global templates have the word Global listed in the Library column on the Template Administration page.
You cannot assign a Global template to a Project.
6. Click the Create button. The Workflow Phases and Data Groups tabs are now activated.
7. Proceed with Creating Data Groups.
