Object templates

Object templates can significantly reduce the time it takes to create and initialize a large number of objects in an Network Monitor installation. An object template serves as a model for new objects, containing monitors the same as normal objects do. When a new object is created from a template, all the monitors in the template are automatically created in the new object.

Object templates also have additional functionality in that normal objects can be linked to an object template. When the properties of a monitor in a template are changed, all the objects linked to that template are automatically updated. It is also possible to individualize specific monitors in a object linked to a template with the Unlink command. See the Adding objects from templates topic for more details.
