About network view templates
A network view template is a set of preconfigured network views that is defined in an XML file. Network administrators use templates to automatically generate network views.
The XML files that are used to define the templates are stored in the $NMGUI_HOME/profile/etc/tnm/dynamictemplates/ directory.
Network administrators create templates based on the needs of network operators. The templates can be made available to operators in the following ways:
- By saving the templates to a specified location
- The operator can then choose to generate the preconfigured set of network views from the Network Views GUI, as one of the options available when creating a network view.
- By assigning the templates to specified users or user groups
- The administrator deploys the preconfigured views defined in one or more templates and assigns these views to a specific user, group or at a global level. Depending on how the templates have been assigned, operators find the preconfigured views automatically available in their Network Views Navigation Panel.
