Template

Templates make it easy to implement a structured DTAP (Development, Testing, Acceptance, Production) environment in Datastorms. This approach ensures you have dedicated projects for each stage (e.g., Development, Testing, etc.), providing a clean, separated workflow.

Key Requirements
  • A Develop project is the minimum requirement to create the template initially.
  • Once established, any number of other projects can be consistently created from that one template.

Creating a Template​

  1. Go to the Develop project
  2. Go to Project Settings
  3. Click on the Template
  4. Click the CREATE Template button
  5. Fill in the template name: copy the name of the dev project word for word. A template based on the developer project has now been created.

Adding other users as template owner​

  1. Go to the Templates tab in the project list.
  2. Click on the template where administrators are to be added.
  3. Go to the Information tab and go to Owners.
  4. Click the plus symbol and select the user that is to be added as owner.
Template usage

Only template owners are allowed to update a template. Enabling "Others can create or connect a project with this template" means Project admins can create a new project based on this template. However, these project admins are not able to update the template itself.

Modifying project on the basis of a template​

  1. Click on the project that is to be modified using the template.
  2. Go to Project settings, then to Template
  3. Under Connect to template, click the desired template that the project is to be connected to.
  4. Click on the Connect and pull button if the settings are correct, and the project will be modified based on the template

Archiving/deleting a template​

  1. Navigate to the Templates tab in the project list
  2. Press ... next to the name of the template.
  3. Press Archive template
  4. Navigate to the Archived tab.
  5. Click ..., then click Delete template. The template has now been deleted.
