Adding and deleting trend templates

Creating a trend template

To create a new trend template:

1. Go to Apps > Protocols & Templates.

2. Select a protocol in the first column and a protocol version in the second column.

3. Right-click in the third column under Trend, and select New.

   Note

   To create a new trend template that is very similar to one that already exists, it can be handy to duplicate the existing template instead of creating a blank new template. To do so, instead of selecting New, select the template that is similar, and then select Duplicate in the right-click menu.

4. In the New trend template dialog box:

   1. Enter a template name.

      Note

      Some characters cannot be used in template names. For more information, see Naming of elements, services, views, etc..

   2. Check if the protocol and protocol version are correct and adapt if necessary.

   3. Click OK.

   The template editor now opens, where you can further configure the trend template.
