Introduction

Data entry templates provide a shorter version of the Object Cataloging schema for users, generally based on a workflow, domain- or organization-specific needs.

To select a template for data entry, click on the dropdown to the right of the Delete button on an Object Cataloging record. The template is “sticky,” meaning that the next time a user creates or views an Object record, the last template used will be selected. Users can change the template view at any time.
