Template Types

Templates can be pre-defined or user created.

Pre-defined Templates

STA comes with a set of predefined templates that provide frequently used information about library resources (such as libraries, drives, media) and events (such as exchanges and cleaning activities). Predefined templates are prefixed with "STA-".

Predefined templates are available to all users. They cannot be modified directly. Instead, you must save any changes to a new, custom template. You can, however, delete predefined templates that you don't need and then later restore them.

See Descriptions of Pre-Defined Templates for a description of each template.

Custom Templates

An Operator or Administrator can create a custom template by modifying the current screen—such as changing graphed attributes, re-ordering columns in a list view table, or applying filter criteria—and then saving the new display as a template. Any number of custom templates can be created for each screen. When you save a template you assign it a name and designate its visibility setting (public or private). Once you have saved a custom template, it is immediately available for the current and future login sessions.
