Form data template allows you to store data that you can copy to existing specs. Using a form data template eliminates the need to repeat data entry for similar specs. Also, you can set the software to copy data from a template when generating a new instrument spec. This is possible after you assign an existing form data template to the profile of a specific instrument type. You manage form data templates only in the Specifications module, in the Form Data Template Editor.
You base form data templates on a specific spec form. You can create multiple templates for each form. The form data template name does not have to be unique and can contain up to 50 alpha-numeric characters. After generating a spec based on the form for which you defined data templates, you can select a template and copy its data to the spec. Also, you can copy data to a form data template from a spec based on the same form.
