The Template List provides you with an overview about available templates. From the Templates List, you can access all templates available for different companies, projects, or instances from the Admin Console.

Three scopes are defined for a template:

For each template, the following displays:

Templates are created externally and can be uploaded from a file.

Simple templates are used to duplicate the field data for one instance, company or project to multiple other instances, companies or projects in Litmus Edge Manager. This comes in handy when most field data is the same.

For example, if most configuration information for devices in the same project are the same, you can use a simple template when adding new devices to the project.

Parameterized templates are used when you want to change specific names or types of configuration information for instances, companies or projects.

For example, if some of the configuration information for devices, such as the name, in the same project are different, you can use a parameterized template when adding new devices to the project.

To access the edge device templates UI:

Refer to the following actions you can take on Litmus Edge Manager Admin Console Edge Device's Edge Device Template pane. The user interface below is for Litmus Edge Manager version 2.11.0 and later.

You can upload a simple or parameterized template from the Templates List section.

Simple templates are used to duplicate the field data for one instance, company, or project to multiple other instances, companies, or projects in Litmus Edge Manager. This comes in handy when most field data is the same.

For example, if most configuration information for edge devices in the same project is the same, you can use a simple template when adding new devices to the project.

Parameterized templates are used when you want to change specific names or types of configuration information for instances, companies, or projects.

For example, if some of the configuration information for devices, such as the name, in the same project is different, you can use a parameterized template when adding new devices to the project.

The simple template is uploaded as a JSON file, and the parameterized template is uploaded as a ZIP file.
