Temple

Editing template and templateAssociation

When opening a template, the corresponding templateAssociation is automatically retrieved. If it does not exist, it is created in Temple (though not saved yet). The attributes @templateId and @effectiveDate are not shown on templateAssociation. On saving, Temple will copy them from the template. (If you add them manually, they will be overwritten on save.)

If you need a new template/@id, simply type in 'new', and Temple will create a legal template/@id when saving:

<template id="new"

You can (manually) enter a new @effectiveDate, or choose from the drop-down. In the drop-down, 'now' translates to the time Temple was opened (i.e. "2014-01-21T13:16:08") and 'today' translates to the start of today (i.e. "2014-01-21T00:00:00").

The following rules apply when saving a template:

• If @id and @effectiveDate exist, template and templateAssociation are overwritten.
• If @id exists, and @effectiveDate not, a new template is created (in effect, a new version of the template).
• If @id = 'new', a new template is created. An @effectiveDate must be supplied by the user.
• If templateAssociation does not exist, it is created (maybe empty, if no concepts are provided).
