The definition of control point templates allows you to create new Control points more quickly and to ensure consistency between control points having common characteristics. It is also required on a control point and initializes certain characteristics of the control point when it is created.
Some characteristics of the control point template are common to all control points defined on the basis of this template, such as states, state list, type and calculation.
As a result: they cannot be changed on the control point.

Control point templates are used when creating control points individually and manually, as they are required on points.
However, a template also allows the mass generation of control points in an automated way. It is important for the template to be correctly filled in.

Creating a Control point template
Prerequisites:
- Have a grouping list if you want to organize templates and control points
- Have a dedicated structure for classification (technical work packages, building classification, etc.) and associated structure points, if needed
- At least one states list (values list) including all the states useful for the upcoming control points allowing the initialization of the states of the control points.
Once the list of values of the states to be used has been filled in on a template, the new values in the values list will no longer be considered by the template and the points!
Procedure:
- Click on the add icon
(also accessible from the result or detail form).
→ The control point template detail form is displayed in creation mode; see Control point template [General]. - Choose the type of point to be generated by the control point template.
→ The form is changed according to the selected type, providing the fields to be filled in.
Changing a Control point template
- In the list of control point templates, click on the control point template to be changed.
→ The detail form of the control point is displayed. See Control point template [General].
