Customised Project Templates
what options do we have for creating customised project/process templates?
We are extending the out of the box templates, and want to generate a template so that future projects can be based on this, rather than the out of the box set.
Is it possible to derive (easily) a template from an existing project?
Having started exploring the RRC3 beta, I'm guessing that RRC2 doesnt have this, and we have to wait for 3 to do it out of the box?
I suppose, we could download the project and strip out the "test artefacts" and then upload it into a blank project, if anyone has done something similar I'd like to understand if there are any gottchas....
Does anyone have a more elegant solution? I may be missing something obvious but havent spotted anything else where in jazz.net, forums or the 2002 documentation....
Currently, we're running 2002 ifix1.
thanks

One way of creating custom projects templates is to use santised RRC archives, i.e. create project, folder structure, attributes, artifact templates etc then when complete create an RRC archive. Then when you want to use this project template create a blank project and upload this archive.

thanks Robin, I suspected that we'd have to do something like that
However, RRC3 is the way to go.....
