Model

Description
Displays the description assigned to the template when originally created in WMS.
Time Created

Type
Defines whether the listed template is a partial or complete full configuration
template. They can be differentiated as follows:
Full Configuration Template - Contains all required configuration information for
the device. If applied to a device, the device would obtain the entire configuration
needed for normal operation.
Partial Configuration Template - Contains only a subset of the complete
configuration. For example, if the user wants to change just the WEP keys the
device, they would create a partial configuration template. When this is applied to
a device, only the WEP keys would change and all other configuration parameters
would remain unaffected.
Variables
Variable configurations are designed to apply a configuration template on a group
of devices, changing it slightly for each device. Apply a variable configuration
template on a group of devices. Variance files must be created to perform
configuration updates through the WMS console.
Jobs
The job column displays the status of this templates recent activity. Those
templates current being installed display as “installing”.
