      Editing a Template

      After you've created templates, you can edit them to change their name, descriptions, or any other field configuration options.

      Changing the details of a field can be done at any time. The changes will affect your records and saved changes will take effect immediately. 

      The field internal name cannot be updated once created. This value will have no impact for your users. It is used only by those using APIs.

      To edit a Template, follow these steps:

      1. From the administration home, go to Templates.
      2. Select the row (checkbox on the left) of the field you wish to edit.
      3. Click Edit in the top right corner of the table.
      4. Modify the field configuration.
      5. Click Save.

      You can only edit one template at a time.

      Deleting a Template

      Deleting an active template will stop users from being able to create a record using this template. All previously created records will be unaffected and visible where in use.

      You can delete a single template, or multiple templates at the same time by selecting multiple rows.

      To delete a Template, follow these steps:

      1. From the administration home, go to Templates.
      2. Select the row (checkbox on the left) of the field you wish to delete.
      3. Click the delete_FILL0_wght400_GRAD0_opsz48 Delete icon in the top right corner of the table.

       

       

      Restoring a Template

      Only Deleted templates can be restored.

      You can restore single or multiple deleted templates at a time.

      Permanently Deleting a Template

      Permanently Deleting a deleted template will remove the template completely from edison365. Previously created records created using the template will remain unaffected. Deleted templates can't be restored. 

      You can permanently delete a single template, or multiple templates at the same time by selecting multiple rows.
