Templates

A screen template is a named pattern of fields, prompts, and literals that can be used to build many screens. The template is the layout of a screen.

Fields, which implement import and export data views, are specific to a particular procedure step. Because templates can be shared by many screens, and therefore many procedure steps, they cannot support fields.

Templates have only the properties listed:

• Name-Used to reference the template when it is included on a screen
• Description-a place to record in detail the intended use of the template
