* The [[Disclaimer]] is displayed during the creation of a new [[Project]], when a [[Template Project]] with a [[Disclaimer]] is selected for use.
* The [[Project Disclaimer]] is not part of the [[Project Data]], but of the [[Project Metadata]]. This means that when changing the [[Project Disclaimer]] in the Editor it is changed immediately and does not rely on saving the [[Project]]. Changing the [[Project Disclaimer]] and then closing the Editor without saving will still result in a changed [[Project Disclaimer]].
* The [[Disclaimer]] is not carried over to the new [[Project]]. If a [[Template Project]] A is used to create a [[Template Project]] B, which is then itself also turned into a [[Template Project]], using [[Template Project]] B to create a new [[Project]] will not display a [[Disclaimer]], unless one is explcitly set for B as well.

The Disclaimer when creating a new Project using a Template.

When offering up a Template Project to other Users in the same Domain, or when preparing to offer one to the broader Tygron Community, adding in information about the purpose, intent, options, liabilities and warnings of using it may be useful or even mandatory. For this purpose, the Tygron Platform allows for configuring a Project Disclaimer. This is a message which will be displayed to a user when creating a new Project based on the template, and which will need to be explicitly accepted before the Template is actually accessed.

Editor → Tools (Ribbon tab) → Template (Ribbon bar)
How to add a Disclaimer to a Template Project:
  1. Ensure the Template Project to which the Project Disclaimer is to be added is writable.
  2. Open the Template Project in the editor.
  3. Go to Tools → Template.
  4. Find the Disclaimer input field and enter the Disclaimer text.
