Object templates

You can create templates for different object types in C•CURE IQ. In the template, you can configure settings that you want to re-use for multiple objects. When you use a template to create a new object, any settings that you configure in the template are copied into the new object automatically.
Note: After you use a template to create an object, you can edit the settings that are copied from the template. Some settings, for example Name and Description, are not copied from a template.

For example, if you want to assigning clearances to each employee in a building, you can create a personnel template that has those clearances. You can use the personnel template to create each employee’s personnel profile. Using a template for this process is quicker than assigning clearances to each personnel record individually.

To create an object template, or to use a template to create a new object, click the Templates button on the top-right of the pane.

  • To create a new object template, click Templates > Create New Template.
  • To use a template to create a new object, click Templates > Add From Template.

Active templates

If you use an active template to create an object, the object remains linked to the active template. Settings that you configure in the active template become read-only fields in the connected object. If you edit settings for the active template, those settings update automatically for any objects that are connected to the active template.
Note: In C•CURE IQ, you can create active templates for operators.

To create an active template, or to use an active template to create a new object, click the Templates button on the top-right of the pane.

  • To create a new active template, click Templates > Create New Active Template.
  • To use a template to create a new object, click Templates > Add From Active Template.
