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 have the same description.
Keyword %release
For example, you create a folder template with a description of 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, 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 is added to the update properties for the project with a description of Completed Tasks for Release 2.0.
Keyword %owner
The %owner keyword expands to the owner of the project whose update properties contain folders created from a folder template. For example, 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.
Keyword %database
The %database keyword expands to the DCM database identifier of the database where the project using the folder was created. For example, a project owned by jsmith with a release of 3.1 is in a DCM database called Bristol. The project 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.
The folder_template command supports these subcommands.
