A new Administration > Automation > Template Management page has been added to the Traverse menu. The Template Management page supports four types of templates:
Automation Profiles (Global) - Defined by a superuser.
Automation Profiles (Organization) - Defined by a organization user or a superuser.
Automation profiles are new functionality that enable you to customize tests automatically during discovery and rediscovery. The default settings assigned to tests are overridden, based on the criteria you provide in automation profiles.
An automation profile consists of:
Rules to match devices.
Rules to match tests.
Actions that transform tests when both devices and tests match their rules.
Automation profiles are executed:
During network discovery when new tests are created on new devices.
When new tests are created on existing devices during rediscovery. By default existing tests are never changed.
Each profile type—global profiles, department profiles—are executed in that order.
Within each profile type, templates are executed alphabetically in ascending order.
Linked and Static Templates
Linked templates and static templates are assigned manually to devices and not executed during discovery and rediscovery. They are now created and managed using the Administration > Automation > Template Management page.
