This term has multiple uses.
A few standard flows, decision trees, flow actions, harnesses, sections, and activities are marked as templates, indicating only that they may be valuable sources that you can copy.
When completing the New dialog box, you can select a template rule to copy as a starting point for the new rule. This is equivalent of the Save As operation, but eliminated the need for you to locate the rule to copy from those on a long list.
The standard property Rule-.pyMethodStatus records this designation.
Informally, a correspondence rule (Rule-Obj-Corr rule type) or a Word Template rule (Rule-Template-Word rule type) rule is sometimes called a "template".
Don't confuse template rules with Visio templates — Windows files with a VST file type.
When creating a SmartLayout, choose a template to control the number of columns created: Single
, Double
or Triple
.
