Working with the Template Launcher 85
4. Reporting Basics
The template lists provide the following information about each
template:
Template name. The name of the template. Each template uses a
naming convention that includes a directory (for example, persvc,
routes, trkgrp), a number, and a brief descriptive title. This is a
GEOTEL naming convention. If you create your own templates using
the ICR Custom Screen Builder, be sure to use a different naming
convention. Otherwise, you may risk overwriting one of the GEOTEL
predefined report templates.
Description. A description of the purpose of the template, including
the display style (for example, graph, pie chart, or grid) and the
types of data the template displays.
4.3.5. Launching Templates
To launch the templates, click OK. An untitled report window appears
and the Template Launcher is closed.
Typically, you launch templates after you make your final selections in
the Templates tab. However, you can launch the templates from within
any of the other Template Launcher tabs. For example, if you needed to
go back to change your Item selections, you could click OK from within
the Items tab to launch the templates.
The following example shows the Template Launcher set up for
launching two real-time templates and a historical template:
To close the Template Launcher without launching the templates, click
Cancel.
