Folder templates provide a pattern used to create folders. Folders created from a folder template are controlled by that folder template. Therefore, when you make changes to the folder template, the folders controlled by it are updated.
You can give a folder template any description, using any character, except the pipe (|) character. The folder template description can include these keywords in any combination: %owner, %release, %database. A description for a folder template does not have to include keywords. When the description of a folder template does not contain a keyword, all folders created from this folder template will have the same description.
For example, if you create a folder template whose description is Completed Tasks for Release %release, the keyword %release is expanded to the release value of the projects that are using a process rule containing this folder template. The keyword %release is expanded when this folder template creates a folder. For instance, when a project with release 2.0 uses a process rule that contains a folder template whose description is Completed Tasks for Release %release, the folder created from this template and added to the update properties for the project will have a description of Completed Tasks for Release 2.0.
The %owner keyword expands to the owner of the project whose update properties contain folders created from a folder template. For example, if a project owned by jsmith with a release of 3.1 uses a process rule that contains a folder template with a description of %owner’s Completed Tasks for Release %release, a folder with a description of jsmith’s Completed Tasks for Release 3.1 is created from this folder template and added to the update properties for the project.
The %database keyword expands to the DCM database identifier of the database where the project using the folder was created. For example, if a project owned by jsmith with a release of 3.1 is in a DCM database called Bristol, and is using a process rule that contains a folder template with a description of %owner’s Completed Tasks for Release %release from Database %database, a folder with a description of jsmith’s Completed Tasks for Release 3.1 from Database Bristol is created from this folder template and added to the update properties for the project.
