13.4.3 Template Subset Appearance

Each subset of options in the Control Panel can be configured to indicate how, or even if, the subset is displayed when the template is used to generate a Version. This is a very useful way to remove any subsets of information from the screen if they are not relevant for the template implementation.

There are eight subsets of options on the Template Control Panel:

Required Execution Parameters
Communications
Just in Time
SuperServer
Database
Desktop Settings
Upgrade Options
Installation Dialogs
