Apply Templates (RadarScreen)

The Templates dialog allows you to apply a predefined or customized template to a RadarScreen window. For RadarScreen, the format settings for the template are applied to all pages in the RadarScreen window.  

For example, you may want to apply a template to an existing RadarScreen page. Before doing so, you have increased the font size using the Format > Page menu sequence for easier viewing. Now, you want to change the layout of the page by applying a template, but you want the font size to remain intact. By deselecting the Font settings, the selected template is applied to the page without overriding the desired font you want for the page.

 Access using the menu bar Format > Apply Template menu sequence. The Templates dialog is displayed.
