Configure a Default Cloud Deployment Template

Applies to: Patch My PC Cloud

The Templates feature of Patch My PC (PMPC) Cloud allows you to optionally set one template per operating system (OS) platform as the default template to use whenever you create a deployment for that specific platform.

Once a default template has been configured, when you create a new deployment for that OS platform, the configuration settings defined in the template are automatically applied. You can still modify the settings if required.

You also apply a template to deployment as detailed in Using Templates in Deployments.

To configure the default template for all deployments to a specific OS platform:

1. Navigate to Settings | Templates

1. On the Templates page, click the relevant slider under the Default column beside the template you want to configure as the default for all deployments created for that OS platform going forward.

1. On the Are you sure you want to set ‘<template_name>’ template as the default popup, click Yes.

The Templates page is redisplayed, showing that the selected template is now the default template for all new deployments created for the relevant OS platform, along with the Success - Template “<template_name>" successfully set as the default for <platform> notification.

Unconfigure a Default Template

If you have previously configured a default template but now do not want a default template to be applied to any new deployments:

1. Click the slider under the Default column beside the template you currently have configured as the default.

1. On the Are you sure you want to unset ‘<template_name>’ template as the default popup, click Yes.

The Templates page is redisplayed, showing that the selected template is no longer the default template for all new deployments created for the relevant OS platform, along with the Success - Template “<template_name>" successfully unset as the default for <platform> notification.
