Conventions for Interface Templates

Interface template settings consist of properties, plain text, or properties and plain text. The following conventions apply to interface templates:

• Enclose properties in square brackets.
• Separate multiple properties with a pipe symbol. The first property that returns a value is displayed. Specify enough properties to allow for any interfaces that have missing property definitions.
• To display plain text in the interface names or descriptions, include the text without enclosing it in brackets.
