1.Template type: Select the area of application of the templates:

Portal: The portal template is used to limit the number of criteria in the Supplier's Guide (Portal). Supplier's guide templates can be assigned to individual Master data objects via Master data/Supplier → column Template or per product structure via Administration/General/Product structure. In order to show the criteria relevant for the Supplier's Guide, they must be assigned a Portal ID. This is to be done via Administration/General/Criteria structure → field Portal ID. Once this field is not empty (this indicates connection to the Supplier's Guide), the criterion becomes available for selection in this template.

Project: A Master data object can be linked to an existing project. Use this option to specify a template for copying data from the linked project to the Master data object. This template will become available in Master data/Definition → blue button Project ID. You can either link a project and right-click on the button to select Copy data from, or click on the blue button to open dialog Related projects, select a project to be linked, right-click on it and select Copy data. You will be prompted to select a project template created in this dialog.

Copy: These templates are available via Recipe/Assignments → right-click option Source for copy template. Select the template from the list available at the bottom of the dialog.
