The Templates menu (Lab Admin → Templates) provides facilities to add, edit, view, and delete Templates for Samples, Studies, Incidents, Batches, Batch Stages, Requests, and Scheduled Samples. A Template is merely a clone of an SDI, including everything associated with it. For example, a User Template can associate security settings or Department membership to a User Template when creating new Users, while a Sample Template can define Specifications that are common across multiple Samples.

Delete Deletes the selcted Sample Template from the database.

A number of LabVantage pages are preconfigured to use Templates (such as those for Users, Forms, Specifications, Consumable Types, and QC Methods). You can also create Sample Templates from any Maintenance Form page by using the "Save As Template" option. Click the option, then enter a Template Id in the dialog:

Both the "Add" Template and "Save As Template" functionality can be used for Templates based on single-key and multi-key SDCs. To create custom Template Elements for use on Maintenance pages, see the templateselector Element.
