Template actions

Important 

Choose an option below to explore the documentation for the latest user interface (UI) or the classic UI.

The action bar in an assessment template provides access to actions that you can perform on the template. It includes buttons for saving, publishing, exporting, deleting, and disabling notifications for the template. The availability of the buttons depends on the template's status and type (out-of-the-box or custom).

Button Description
Notifications

The Notifications option becomes available only after a template is created. Notifications in a template are enabled by default. When enabled, an email is automatically sent to someone whenever they are set as the owner or assignee of a draft assessment that uses the template.

The Notifications option simplifies communication by ensuring that everyone involved in an assessment is promptly informed. It applies to all versions of the template. If you switch on the Notifications option in the latest version of a template, it also affects assessments that were created using older versions of the same template. For example, if an assessment was conducted using an older version of the template and you switched on the Notifications option in the new version of the template, the change is applied to that old assessment as well. You don’t need to click Publish on the template for the change to be applied—it is applied automatically.

For more information, go to Assessment notifications.

Save as New Template

The Save as New Template button is available only for Collibra templates, and it becomes enabled only when you edit the template. It allows you to create a copy of the template.

The new template (copy) is created with version V1 and status Draft, and it is added to the Custom Templates section on the All Templates page.

Discard Version

The Discard Version button is available only for draft custom templates with a version greater than 1. It allows you to revert to the last published version of the template.

Delete

The Delete button is available only for custom templates. It allows you to permanently delete the template.

If you delete a published template, it is still archived in the CPSH repository because some assessments may still be using the deleted template.

Save

The Save button is available only for custom templates, and it becomes enabled only when you edit the template. It allows you to save your changes to the template.

If the status of the template is Draft and you click Save, the status remains Draft and the version doesn't change. If the status of the template is Published and you click Save, the status becomes Draft and the version is incremented.

Publish

The Publish button is available only for custom templates, and it becomes enabled only when you edit the template. It allows you to publish the template, which changes the status of the template to Published.

If the status of the template is Draft and you click Publish, the status becomes Published and the version doesn't change. If the status of the template is Published and you click Publish, the status remains Published and the version is incremented.

Export

The Export button is available only for published custom templates. It allows you to export the template, which you can then import into another CPSH environment.

If you want to use a template in another CPSH environment, export the template and then import it into that environment. This feature is useful for importing a custom template from a testing environment to a production environment.
