Manage Templates (Radio Management)

INCLUDED FIELDS:	DEFINITIONS:
Model Number	Allows you to view the radio model number of each template. Templates can only be shared by radios with the same model number.
Template Firmware Version	Allows you to view Firmware Version of each template. Because firmware information is stored in the radio, when the CPS reads a codeplug file (not from a radio), "N/A" (not applicable) appears in this field. Because a Radio Management template can apply to multiple radios, the template used for a "Write" job may not have been originally read from the current radio, therefore this Template Firmware Version may vary from this radio's actual Firmware Version at the time of the job.
Language Packs	The available language pack for each template. Language Packs determine the language that appears within a radio's display (see also Management Language Packs).
Voice Announcements	The number of Voice Announcement (*.MVA) files stored in the current template, and their total size in kBytes.
Template Codeplug Version	Allows you to view-only the version number of each template / codeplug. Because a Radio Management template can apply to multiple radios (see Manage Templates), the template used for a "Write" job may not have been originally read from the current radio, therefore this Template Codeplug Version may vary from this radio's actual Codeplug Version at the time of the job.
Creation Date	The date that a template is created. Whenever a template is edited and saved in the main CPS interface, a new version of the template is created.
In Use (Radios)	The number of radios in the RM Server's database that share the current template.

The majority of a radio’s codeplug feature-values are contained within a Radio Management template; templates can be applicable to multiple radios, which is why template-based programming is very efficient. The more generic codeplug feature-values (less radio-specific) are contained within Radio Management templates. Template codeplug values are modified from the main CPS user-interface. Template codeplug values have a view-only status in the Radio Management Client's (RMC) many views. Non-template radio-specific codeplug values such as Radio IDs and IP Addresses are maintained on a per codeplug basis in the RMC's three edit-capable views.

1.

From Manage Templates, right-click directly on the desired template, then choose "Edit Template".
For an alternate access method, from Radio Management Client's Radio View, highlight the appropriate radio-codeplug record / row; then from the Actions Button choose "Edit Template".
This opens the selected template for editing of these more generic radio codeplug values in the main CPS user-interface.
Non-template (more radio-specific) fields are not able to be modified in the CPS when in this Edit Template mode. Non-Template feature values may be edited in the three edit-capable views of the Radio Management Client.
Radio record / rows currently scheduled for a job, may not have their template modified.

2.

Once you have completed the Edit session in the main CPS user-interface, click the CPS Save button to return to the Radio Management Client.

Radio Management forces you to save the modified template with a new name.
If the modified template is associated with more than one radio, you are prompted if the template changes if these changes should apply to all radios that are affiliated with the previous version of this template.
All data edits are validated by the Job Processor when the template is Saved.
All versions of the template are maintained in the RM Server database, and therefore may be restored if need be (see the Radio Details window's Restore feature).

From Manage Templates, right-click directly on the desired template, then choose "Rename Template".
From the highlighted template name, type in a new template name. (The template is renamed for all radio using the template)

From Manage Templates, right-click directly on the desired template, then click on "Delete". (Only templates not being used by any managed radios can be deleted)

From Manage Templates click the "Import Templates" button. (The "Import Radios" .mc window opens)
Select the desired .mc file(s). (These codeplug / template files allow are imported in to the current RM Server in a template only format.)
