Assembly Templates
An assembly template enables you to set up an assembly structure that you can use to create similar assemblies. The template can include the elements and metadata that are common to the assemblies you create.
You can create an assembly template by using the New menu or by using existing assembly elements.
On the Ennov InSight New > Assembly Template menu, you can create an assembly template from one of the following sources:
| Option | Description |
| New (Empty) | Creates a new template containing no existing assembly elements. |
| Existing Template, Assembly or View | Creates a new template from an existing template or assembly, or from a current or active view. |
| Assembly File | Creates a new template from an assembly or view that has been exported as an XML file. |
Using a template or an existing assembly to create a new assembly template streamlines the process because existing attribute values are inherited by any new assembly you create. A template or an existing assembly can contain publishing settings, the assembly structure, the hierarchical order of folders and leaf elements, documents, document placeholders, publishing elements, and default mappings to DMS attributes for leaf and study report attributes. It minimizes the need for you to enter data already captured in the DMS.
Note: When creating a new assembly template, from an assembly file, if the repository path in Technical Administration does not relate to any location within assembly file, the location path will not be populated.
