Generating and Viewing Program Templates

This section provides an overview of program templates and discusses how to:

  • Generate and view an AIR based program template.

  • View the Template – Long page.

Use the program template to generate and view a program of study (or any other academic item) in its entirety. On the page, the academic item and its children appear in a composed view that displays all the levels within that item. You can use links to view detailed information and make changes at any level in the template.
