Configuration Templates Workflow

The high-level workflow for configuration templates is as follows:

1. Use a pre-existing template (skip to step 2) or create a template using one of the following methods:

   • Clone an existing configuration template and modify the cloned template. SeeEdit, Clone, and Delete a Configuration Template.

   • Add a configuration template by specifying the template configuration and logic. See Add a Configuration Template.

2. (Optional) Preview and validate the configuration template before deploying the configuration template directly on a device. See Preview and Render a Configuration Template.

3. Deploy a configuration template directly on one or more devices that were previously activated, which enables you to deploy templates that were added after a device was activated or to deploy additional configuration to devices. You can deploy configuration templates to devices from the Configuration Templates See Deploy a Configuration Template on to a Device.
