How to save selected tasks in a configuration to a template file
To save selected tasks or a single task in a configuration to a template, first save the entire configuration to a template file and then delete task tabs that you do not want from the template.
Configuration template files stored in the AutoStore template directory appear on the New and Add menus on the Home tab of the Process Designer ribbon. A template in a subfolder in the template folder appears on a cascading menu on the New and Add menus using the hierarchy of subfolder names.
The default template directory is specified by the Template Directory option in the
Options dialog box. To verify or change the default template directory used by Process Designer, click the
File tab on the ribbon, and then click the APD Options button. For more information, see
APD Options dialog box.
