Templates
Public Templates should ideally be discussed within the research group and agreed upon before
they are used. This will promote standardised methods and will save time when starting a new
experiment. (Public Templates are only public within the research group and not visible to all of KI)
Create a template project
In order for Public Templates to be visible and searchable for other group members the template
must include a project. (This is not necessary for My Templates). Even though a template is stored
using one project, the project can be changed when the template is used for an experiment. It is
recommended that a Superuser creates a group specific “template project” that can be used when
creating new templates.
Give a group or user the right to create public templates
Chose Groups, then click on the name of your group.
