How to: Create and Install a Group Template

Using Group Templates ensures consistent UI and integration across multiple projects within the template, removing repetitive tasks that would usually need to be completed inside each Project. Group Templates can be used, for example, when a new subsidiary has been acquired and there is the need to automate the whole product line.

Creating a Group Template

Follow the steps below to create a Group Template:

1. From the File Explorer locate, select and open the Group Content folder in your DriveWorks Project.
2. In the Group Content folder add an info.xml file.
3. Next, in the Group Content folder create a new folder and rename it as, Description.
4. In the Description folder now add an index.html file.
5. Update both, the info.xml and the index.html to reflect your Group Template.
6. Create a drivepkg using the Pack and Go Tool in Data Management
7. Once you have completed this, select and rename the .drivepkg file extension to .drivegt

Installing a Group Template

1. Double-click on the new .drivegt file and the DriveWorks Install Template wizard will automatically launch.
2. Choose whether this template should be made available to either the Current User or for Everyone (who has access). Click Next.

   

3. The DriveWorks Install Template wizard will then launch and complete the task to install the template for the

   users selected.
