HDB Templates
Templates define the type and format of data in the Historical
Databases. Templates are similar to Report Forms. Where Report Forms
define the fields to be included in a report or extract, Templates
define the fields to be included in an HDB. Templates provide HDBs
with:
- Flexibility. You decide exactly what information is recorded in the HDB.
- Ease of use. The editor provides a simple way of tailoring the template.
- Transparency. You can see at a glance exactly what information is recorded in the HDB.
- Type of HDB: List or Summary.
- Fields names and associated field attributes.
