To use the characteristics and properties of an existing teamspace as the foundation for a new teamspace, select an existing teamspace and save it as a template. When you create a new teamspace, you can select the template to use as the basis for the new teamspace.
Saving a teamspace as a template persists the following properties:
These properties will appear in each teamspace created with that template. Note that templates do not include any information related to individual users.
Tasks created by a workflow (and any links to tasks created by a workflow) are not persisted in a template. Related links are not persisted in a template.
NOTE If a teamspace you use as the basis for the template includes one or more secured folders (that is, the folder's security limits access to the contents for some teamspace members) it is possible that the secured content will be made available in the template. If the member who creates the template has access to the secured content, that content will also be included in the template, and consequently in other teamspaces created from the template. The customized security settings will not be applied in the template or teamspaces created from the template, so the content will be available to all members and guests, by default.
Templates are stored in the Teamspace Templates folder in the Collaboration Store. An administrator can delete a template from this folder by using FileNet Enterprise Manager.
