Edit, Clone, and Delete Configuration Templates

In Administration Portal, users with the SP (Service Provider) Administrator role (on-premises installation only) or OpCo (Operating Company) Administrator role can modify the parameters of existing configuration templates, clone existing configuration templates, and delete configuration templates that are no longer being used.

Note:

In CSO releases before Release 5.1.0, configuration templates are called stage-2 configuration templates.

Edit a Configuration Template

Users with the SP Administrator role can edit predefined templates and templates that they created. Users with the OpCo role can edit only the templates that they added (created).

To edit a configuration template:

  1. Select Resources > Templates > Configuration Templates.

    The Configuration Templates page appears.

  2. Select the configuration template that you want to modify and click the edit (pencil) icon.

    The Edit Configuration Template page appears. The fields on this page are same as the fields that you configure in the Add Configuration Template workflow.

  3. Modify the fields as needed.

    Refer to Add Configuration Templates for an explanation of the fields.

    Note:

    Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory.

  4. Click OK.

    The modifications are saved and you are returned to the Configuration Templates page, where a confirmation message is displayed. If the configuration template was previously deployed on a device or assigned to a device template, then you must redeploy the configuration template for the changes to take effect.

    • If you select a configuration template that was added in a release before CSO Release 5.3.0, an alert message appears asking you to confirm whether you want to edit the template to automatically upgrade the template to the current CSO release version. You must go through the Edit workflow to upgrade the version.

      1. On the Edit Configuration Template page that appears, proceed to the Summary tab and click OK.

        The template is automatically upgraded to CSO Release 5.3.0 and the Configuration Templates page appears.
