Creating and saving project templates
UNICOM Intelligence Author and UNICOM Intelligence Professional come with a number of templates that you can base new questionnaires on. The templates (stored as .ptz files) are organized into a number of folders.
To create a new questionnaire from a template
1 Click File > New > Project or press Alt+F, N, P.
The Select Project Template dialog opens. It lists the available template folders.
2 Select the required folder.
3 Select the template you want to use, and then click Select.
To save a questionnaire as a project template
1 Click File > Save As, and then go to the folder where you want to save the template.
When the source .mdd file specifies a TemplateLocation, all files that are in the template location are included in the template .ptz file. For example, if the source .mdd file specifies your desktop as the TemplateLocation, all files on your desktop are packaged into the project template .ptz file. As such, you must ensure that you select an appropriate TemplateLocation.
2 Select the file extension .ptz.
3 Enter a name for the file, and then click Save.
Depending on the folder location to which you saved the template, you might need to copy or move the saved file to another location to be able to select it in UNICOM Intelligence Professional.
To edit an existing project template
1 Click File > Open > File.
2 In the Open dialog, select the file extension .ptz, and then go to the folder where your templates are held.
3 Select the template you want to edit, and then click Open.
4 Edit and save the file in the normal way.
