New template type: super templates

November 2005SISP 6.1 delta training19 Templates Provide easy storage of and access to frequently used configurations Facilitate the creation of SISPs with similar layout Template types: −SISP Template: Order specific; contains all configuration information entered in the configuration tabs on order and item level, including attachments −Modular Template: Not order specific; contains configuration parameters stored for a single configuration tab −Super Template (new): Set of modular templates linked together Template archives: −user’s personal template archive −general templates (“HP Best Practice”): contain HP recommended values managed by HP template administrators; visible to all users Any files attached to a template carrying order number specific information should be updated before activating the SISP.

November 2005SISP 6.1 delta training20 Template creation SISP Template: save a complete SISP as template  by selecting “Save as Template” from the left hand navigation menu Modular Template: save the parameters for a specific configuration tab  by selecting “Save as modular template” from the respective page  by creating the template from scratch on the “template management” page Super Template: link modular templates together  by creating the template on the “template management” page

November 2005SISP 6.1 delta training21 Using templates Manual template selection – SISP Express  Select a super template and assign all Customer Intent data with a single click Manual template selection – SISP Expert Mode −SISP Template (entire SISP)  Select “Copy from template” in the navigation menu and check a template out of the result list. −Modular/Super Template  Use “Assign Template” to assign modular/super templates to specific configuration tabs on order or item level. Automatic template selection −Create SISP automatically based on predefined criteria (service product number, feature code) and pre-select modular templates  Service product number and feature code must be setup  Modular template needs to be associated to product number and feature code  Modular template needs to be flagged as “automatic” by a template administrator

November 2005SISP 6.1 delta training22 Super templates – Concept I Link modular templates together Allow for fast assignment of a set of configuration information (set of modular templates) with a single click Creation of super templates −From scratch by linking modular templates to the super template −By copying an existing template (own or from other users) Super templates can be shared within pre-defined user groups −Grant access to other users to use, copy, modify or delete your templates Notes: −A user can only link his/her own modular templates to a super template; other users’ modules need to be copied. −Only one modular template per scope allowed (e.g. 1 rack, 1 cabling etc). −Super templates only reference data; configuration information still needs to be modified in module itself

November 2005SISP 6.1 delta training23 create your template Super templates – Concept II Start creating a new super template or modify an existing one Use your super template to define your configuration for a given order with “one click” Link modular templates to the super template Modular Templates own templates other users’ templates “Best Practice” copy template Super Template Asset Kernel LVM other scope

November 2005SISP 6.1 delta training24 Super templates: Identifiers Name (mandatory): Give your template a name you can easily remember. Note: A super template can use the same name as a modular template. Product No + #(Option) (optional): Additional parameters. Can be used in the “Search” functionality. Comment (optional): Recommended to provide more information about the content as name field is limited. Give access to (optional): By default access to a template is limited to the creator, but you can grant access to other members of a group you belong to, or to all your groups. User Groups are set up by a SISP adminstrator upon request.

November 2005SISP 6.1 delta training25 Template management Search parameters – super templates Name Search for template name; wildcard (*) allowed Product No + Option Search for product number/option; wildcard (*) allowed Dates Search for templates created or modified in a specific date range Owner −HP Best Practice: include general templates with HP recommended values −my templates: search your templates only −my group: search your templates and those of your groups for which you were granted access −other user (feature for internal users only): enter the login name of a user to search his/her templates

November 2005SISP 6.1 delta training26 Template Management Search results – Super Templates Two sections in results list: −HP Best Practice: templates with HP recommended values −User defined templates: templates belonging to SISP users Available actions: −Review: show template content −Modify*: change template identifiers and/or configuration parameters −Delete*: remove template from the repository −Copy: create a copy *) user defined templates only

November 2005SISP 6.1 delta training27 Template Assignment (new) Main page  Open SISP by selecting “New/Open” from the left hand navigation menu  Go to “SISP Expert Mode” (1) and select “Template Assignment” (2)  On the Start page (3) select those SISP items to be assigned templates  Select “Assign Super Template” to assign a set of modular templates linked together into a super template  Select “Assign Modular Template” to assign individual modular templates to the SISP Note: The next page will be displayed based on the template type. It is possible to switch between “Assign Super Template” and “Assign modular template. (1) (2) (3)

November 2005SISP 6.1 delta training28 Template Assignment Super templates I The “Super Template Assignment” page shows a summary of all possible configuration tabs on order and item level based on order content 1.Define search parameters and retrieve the templates from the template archive by selecting “Populate Pull- Down Menus” (menus are already populated with “HP Best Practice” and user templates) 2.Select templates as necessary Redo steps 1 and 2 for different search parameters

November 2005SISP 6.1 delta training29 Template Assignment Super templates II The overview shows whether the configuration −is still not specified yet  empty or “attachment only scope” −has been entered manually  manually filled −is based on a template  template name and owner Using the checkboxes for each module you can −Reset data if no modular template linked to this scope −Keep the assigned modular template −Select the linked modular template Manually filled modules will be changed when a template is assigned.

November 2005SISP 6.1 delta training30 Template Assignment Super templates III If a modular template was removed from the repository but is still referenced by a super template the data stored with the related scope will be reset. “Reset All” will clear any template content from the SISP; manually filled data will be kept. “Apply Selection” will copy the data into the corresponding configuration pages Special note on rack templates: The content of the rack tab will be overwritten by the content of a rack template.
