Upgrading templates is done by an administrative user or a user with WRITE ACL access not only to the template that is being upgraded but also WRITE ACL access to all of the child rules that are associated with the template.
By upgrading the template, you can edit the Rule Template definition, that is the DRQL syntax, and all other fields in the
Parameters
section of a template to modify the template format, which will also upgrade all of the child rules associated with the template.
However, a non-administrator user can upgrade or revert changes to a template if all of the following conditions are true:
The user has WRITE ACL permissions on the template.
The user has WRITE ACL permissions on all of the template's children.
Complete the following tasks to edit a template through the RulePoint user interface:
On the
Design
tab, click the
Templates
view.
Select the template that you want to edit.
From the menu in the right-hand side, select
Edit
.
The
Edit Template
dialog box appears.
Edit the template information, template rules, and template parameters.
If you want to edit the DRQL statement, click
Upgrade Template
.
The
Dependent Objects
dialog box appears displaying all the template rules created from this template.
If you want to modify all the template rules, click
Continue
.
If you do not want to upgrade a template rule, you can use the option
Create Advanced Rule
.
Click
Save
to save the changes to the template.
If you edit a template rule that is deployed, click
Save and Redeploy Rules
to deploy the associated template rule. The associated template rule changes from Needs_Deployment to the Deployed state.
