Sub-Template

This section explains how to use the sub-template insertion feature within the dynamic form. A sub-template is a reusable block of nodes you can add while creating a dynamic form template to speed up the configuration process.

A sub-template is a template that can be inserted into a dynamic form structure. When you import it, it brings all its elements, including codes, properties, and expressions, with it.

When to Use It

You can use a sub-template when you want to:

  • Reuse a configuration pattern you've used before.

  • Standardize a portion of your dynamic form.

  • Save time on repetitive setup tasks.

How to Insert a Sub-Template

You can insert a sub-template under any node except the root node. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Find the node to which you want to add a sub-template.

  2. Open the options menu for that node.

  3. Select New node from template.

  4. Choose whether to insert the new structure above or below the selected node.

Conflict management

If a sub-template has a code that already exists in your current dynamic form structure, the system handles the conflict for you:

  • The system automatically appends a progressive number to the duplicate code (for example, NODE_ANODE_A_1).

  • The system automatically updates all references, including properties, expressions, and dependencies, to use the new code.
