Build Object Standards

The Template Toolbox is the part of the System Platform IDE that shows host objects organized by toolsets from which other object templates are derived or instances are created.

Derived templates are created from base templates. Base and derived templates are identified in the Template Toolbox by a dollar sign ($) as the prefix to their names.

Templates are elements that contain common configuration parameters for object instances that can be re-used.

Object instances are the specific devices in your environment that are deployed as part of your ViewApp. You create an instance from a template and then customize the specific instance as needed.

Some Details:

Instances are deployed to the run-time environment. Templates exist in the development environment and cannot be deployed to a ViewApp.
