Creating and Using Templates

Profile allows you to create and save data representations as
templates. A data representation includes all of the user-customized
attributes and options used to display a span of data. Use the
templates to save time when you frequently generate the same or a
similar data representation.

Several of the Profile software tools allow you to create and save
templates. For example, create and save a Hydrograph Reporter
template to include customized graph scales, color assignments for
each data entity on the graph, and selected data entities. After you
have finished setting up the data representation, store it to the
database as a template using the Save option. Save templates to the
<Root> folder (found on the Profile main screen), or save them to a
group, monitor location, or monitoring point within Profile. Then,
retrieve and use the template during the weekly reporting routine to
save time.

Note: Do not use the / symbol when naming templates.
