What is a template
tem·plate noun \ˈtem-plət\
- computers : a computer document that has the basic format of something (such as a business letter, chart, graph, etc.) and that can be used many different times
Using templates in the Tygron Engine
- In the Tygron engine it is possible to take the project elements only from an existing project - Stakeholders, Indicators, Actions, etc - and transpose these over to a new area. This is very convenient in case a similar spatial issue is at hand on different locations. This functionality also enables the user to make elaborate predefined actions or custom indicators, which can easily be transposed as a project template to another area.
Default templates in the Tygron Engine
Also See: Climategame and Bedrijventerrein.
- There are multiple default templates available in the Tygron Engine, including Climategame and Bedrijventerrein. For more information about those specific templates see their respective articles.
How to add your own template
- Projects can easily be set as a template, to be used as base for next projects. Once a project has been set as template it is added to the list of available templates. Setting a project as a template can only be done by users with Domain Administrator rights. By default the template is not shared with other users within your domain. Please refer to the next paragraph about making templates available for the domain.
- Setting a project as a template makes the project read only!
How to set a project as template:
- Log in with Domain Admin rights
- Select "Options"
- Select "Projects"
- Highlight project to be made a template
- Check box named "Template (project becomes read only)"
Sharing your template with other users in your domain
- When a project has been made a project template, the read and write permissions will change. This is to ensure that nobody accidentally edits the project template. No write permissions remain (project cannot be edited anymore) and only the creator can read the template by default. In order to change the read permissions, so that other users within the same domain can also use the template, the creator can change the permissions of the original project in the editor.
How to share the template with other users in your domain:
- Load in the editor the template project to be shared with the domain
- Select "File" when in main view
- Select "Permissions"
- Change the entry for "Other users in domain" to "Read"
- Save project
