What are User Templates?

A User Template is a generic file with a similar structure to Users which serves to facilitate the transfer of information to newly created User entries. User Templates can be used either when creating single Users through the Manage Users Data Entry page or when creating multiple Users through the Generate Bulk Users Run.

  • Navigate to User Templates and explore existing entries via the Summary page.  
  • Click on the link (Name or Number) of the entry of your interest to enter the Data Entry page and see more detail. 
  • Use the Actions Menu to create a NEW User Template, modify (EDIT) or DELETE an existing one.  
  • Use the BACK to return to the Summary page and CANCEL to revert any unwanted changes made to the User Templates.

Check the Validations & Restrictions Table below for a list of available Actions when working with User Templates, including each Action's related validations and restrictions.  View the Attributes Table for a comprehensive description of the User Templates fields.
