Field or Control

Description

Default Template

Select to use this template as the default template when you access the Material or Capacity Workbench if no user default or installation default is identified.

System Data (Locked)

PeopleSoft Supply Planning provides the ALLROWS template as part of the system data. When this check box is selected, you cannot change rows in the corresponding template.

Display Type

Define the template as Item Based, Capacity Based, or Buyer Based. The value that you select here determines which fields are available in the Row Type ID field. You define row types for each display type on the Define Display Row Types page.

Display types indicate the workbench in which you can use any given row type. For example, an item-based display template is available in the Material Workbench only. You can use capacity-based display types in the Capacity Workbench only, and buyer-based display types in the Buyer Workbench.

Default Number of Periods

Enter the default number of buckets the system displays on each workbench initially.

Default Graph Type

Select the graph type that the system uses initially.

Beginning Start Date

Define the start date of the first bucket. Values are Beginning of Period, in which the start date falls on a specific Start Date Entered. Initially, the system uses Beginning of Period as the default value. Templates with capacity-based display types always use Beginning of Period.

Template to Copy

To copy an existing template, select from the available options and click the Copy Template button.

Default Period Duration

Select a default period duration that the system uses for buckets.

Default Decimal Positions

Enter the default decimal precision that the system uses for quantity buckets.
