Topic Template General Information

Displays the current field values that describe a topic template:

·        Includes all standard and custom fields accessible in the initial state, except the following:

·        Topic State

·        Topic Assigned to User

·        Project

·        Keywords

·        Each field accepts text, numeric, or provides a list of pre-defined values that you can select. A field that accepts text may also offer a Select Available Values link so you can select one or more values from a list.

·        A date field appears as offsets expressed in days. When the template is used, the date field in the topic is computed based on topic creation date plus topic template offset.

·        Arrow icons may appear after the names of a pair of fields to show that they are a linked pair. For example, if fields for Country () and State () appear, the arrows indicate that you must select a value for the Country field first and then select a value for the State field. You cannot select a State value first: the values available for State depend on the Country you select.

·        The Visible to work team field displays a comma separated list of work teams whose members will be able to use the topic template. When the page is in edit mode, it appears as a list.

·        To save changes to the Topic Template General Information section, click Save. Saved changes are shown as entries in the History of Topic Template General Information section.
