Configuring parameter templates

This section discusses configuring Parameter templates in VHQ.

Use this when you need to create a reusable set of parameter values that can be applied to an application across devices.

A parameter template provides a convenient way to manage parameters that apply to an application.

TCP/IP communication parameters for a group of devices in a store (or region) may be common. Instead of configuring these parameters for each application individually, you can define a Parameter Template that sets values for all TCP/IP communication parameters and assign it to the required applications.

You can change the values of the parameters in a template, and the change applies to all associated applications. A template can define values for some or all of an application's parameters, and you can configure one or more templates per application.

Open parameter templates for an application

Before you begin, ensure the application's parameter form view file (PFX) is already configured.

1

Open the Applications Library

Go to Device Management > Manage Downloads > Applications Library.

2

Click Configure

Click Configure under the Parameter Templates column for the selected application.

3

Review the templates list

The Parameter Templates for Application screen lists each template, the hierarchy it belongs to, and its description. From here you can add, edit, delete, and copy parameter templates.
