  1. In the menu bar, click on Templates > New Template.
  2. A form will pop-up on your screen, as shown below.
  3. Once you have entered all the details, click ‘Save’. Create_a_Template.gif

You need to provide the following inputs:

  1. Template Name- Provide a name for your Template. 
  2. Description- A summary about the purpose, and business value of the Template.
  3. Tags - Add relevant tags. These tags can be used to search for a Template. 
  4. Pages to save: Select the pages of your Exploration to be included in the Template:
    • All
    • Current Page
    • Specify the page numbers to be included in the Template. (Press Shift key to select range of pages). You can include only continuous pages.   
  5. Discovery On: Each Exploration has an execution graph which is a series of operations that generate a series of datasets. The datasets from where the execution graph starts are called root datasets. You can choose any one of the root datasets for Discovery On field. 
    How is it useful: After creating a Template with this setting, whenever an operation generates the same type of data,  Klera will discover this Template as a result, in the View Panel. You can run this Template from the View Panel. Refer here to learn more about how to run a Template. 
  6. Register As Operation: 
    Select “Register as Operation” option to create a Template that can be run from “Explore Here” box in the product header. You can also run this Template from the context-sensitive menu under “ Template” option. 

Note.pngNote: “Register as Operation” can only be selected when an input is not required in the first operation while executing the Template. 

7. Include Story

Select the “Include Story” option to save the Story along with the Template. All the Story Points present on selected pages will be included in the Template.
