How to create a scenario template?
A scenario template captures the workflow of a scenario so it can be reused. There are two ways to create one:
- From an existing scenario — this is the main way. Open the scenario, open its menu, and select Template → Create scenario template. A dialog asks for a Name (required) and an optional rich-text description. The template stores a copy of the scenario's processes, connections, and configuration. The description is automatically copied to scenarios created from the template.
- By importing a file — from the Scenario Templates page, click the import button (
upload_file) in the page header and select a scenario template JSON file previously downloaded from a lab. The imported template opens automatically.
The scenario template detail page
The detail page is where you inspect and edit a template. The name at the top of the header is editable in place — click it to rename the template. The header also holds a download button and a delete button. The page is organized into two tabs:
- Scenario workflow — a read-only view of the template's workflow, showing its processes and connections exactly as they will appear in a scenario created from it.
- Scenario template detail — a rich-text description editor, plus a side panel with the template's tags and general information (creation author and dates).
How to update a scenario template?
From the detail page you can update the template's metadata:
- Rename — click the name in the header and type the new value. The change is saved as soon as you confirm.
- Edit the description — on the Scenario template detail tab, edit the rich-text description. Changes are saved automatically.
- Tags — add or remove tags from the side panel of the Scenario template detail tab.
How to use a scenario template?
A scenario template is used to build scenarios. There are two ways to apply one:
- Create a scenario from the template — in the scenario creation dialog, pick a template (or its JSON file) so the new scenario starts with the template's workflow already in place.
- Add the template inside an existing scenario — from the scenario editor, add the template as a sub-protocol so its processes and connections are inserted into the current workflow.
See the Creating and configuring a scenario section for the full workflow of building a scenario from a template.
How to download a scenario template?
To download a template, open its detail page and click the download button (cloud_download) in the header. The template is saved as a JSON file. This file can be imported into another lab from the Scenario Templates page, making it the simplest way to share a workflow blueprint between labs.
How to delete a scenario template?
To delete a template, open its detail page and click the delete button (delete) in the header, then confirm. After deletion you are returned to the Scenario Templates page.
