The entry template provided by Workplace and Workplace XT is an alternate "Add document" wizard created using the Entry Template Designer application. It can set a new document's security or allow the user to set it. You can also use Entry Template Designer to create alternate wizards for adding folders and custom objects.
An entry template is saved as a versionable document in the Entry Template class and acquires security from the class. An entry template is like any other versionable document with respect to security. Entry templates can only be modifed through the Entry Template Designer if the user has permission to promote a version (Major Versioning).
