3.1.2 Share Sessions as Templates

Session documents contain references to the following settings (all of which can be customized): host, ribbon, theme, keyboard map, and mouse map.

After you configure a session document, you can share and reuse your settings by saving the document as a template. Templates provide an untitled copy of the original, giving you a quick and easy way to create pre-configured documents, while ensuring that your original file remains unchanged.

Reflection includes several templates in the Create New Document dialog box. When you create a template, as long as you save it to the Templates folder (the default location), it is added to this dialog box under User Defined.

To share a session document

Open the session document that you've configured.

Save the session as a template.

Do one of the following:

The steps depend on your user interface mode.

User Interface Mode	Steps
Ribbon	On the File menu or the Reflection button , choose Save As and then Save Template.
Reflection Browser	In the search box, enterSand then, under Actions, select Save Template.

Name the template file with an .rsft extension, and then save the template to the Templates folder.

Move the template file from the Templates folder on your computer to either a shared location or to the Templates folder on a computer that has Reflection installed.

NOTE:If you copy the template file to a location other that the Templates folder, make sure it's a trusted location or Reflection won't open it.

The Templates folder is in the following location:

Users\user_name\AppData\Roaming\Micro Focus\Reflection\Desktop\version \templates
To make changes to the template, you must replace the template file — save the file that contains your changes using the same filename and extension as the template.
