Static Device Templates

A Static Device Template is a template that contains a group of tests with customized parameters that you can then apply to multiple target devices so that each of the target devices is provisioned with the same tests. This functionality supports a one-time application of the tests to the target devices, and once the tests are provisioned for a target device, no association is maintained between the target device and the source template.

Creating a Static Device Template

  1. Create tests for a device as described in Managing Standard Tests.
  2. Navigate to Administration > Devices, and then click Tests for the device you configured in Step 1.
  3. Click Create Device Template.
  4. Enter a Template Name.
  5. Ensure the Static list of tests option is selected.
  6. If the Linked to this device option is selected, a new Linked Device Template is created that has does not have any devices assigned to it yet.
  7. Enter a Description that describes the tests in the template for this device.
  8. Click Apply.
