Retrieve all templates of a particular type

Before you can retrieve templates, you need to Specify a database.

You can use PI Builder to retrieve all templates of a particular type from a PI AF database into Microsoft Excel. Specifically, PI Builder can retrieve templates for cases, elements, event frames, models, or transfers.

1. On the PI Builder tab, click Library > Templates and then click the template type to retrieve all the templates of that type.

   For example, click Library > Templates > Element Templates to retrieve all the element templates from the current PI AF database.

   Note: To retrieve analyses templates, see Create analyses (templates) with PI Builder.

2. In the Select Object Types and Column Headers window, select the objects and column headers to include in the worksheet, and then click OK.

   Note: Use the Template field to retrieve attributes from a template. The attributes defined by the selected template are displayed in the Attributes Columns (from Template 'name') group in the Object Types list.

   PI Builder retrieves all the templates of the selected type into the worksheet and fills the selected columns with available data.
