Figure 126 Template Variables Illustration
The variable name cannot have any spaces or non-alphanumeric characters. The initial variable value entered
is the default value, but can be changed on a per-group basis later. You can also populate global template
variables by uploading a CSV file (see below).
5. Once you have configured your global template, click Add at the bottom of the configuration page. You are
taken to a confirmation configuration page where you can review your changes.
6. If you want to add the global template, click the Apply Changes Now button. If you do not want to add the
template, click the Cancel and Discard Changes button. Canceling from the confirmation configuration page
causes the template and all of the template variables to be lost.
7. Once you have added a new global template, you can use a CSV upload option to configure global template
variables. Navigate to the Groups > Templates configuration page and click the CSV upload icon for the
template. The CSV file must contain columns for Group Name and Variable Name. All fields must be
completed.
Group Name—the name of the subscriber group that you wish to update.

Variable Name—the name of the group template variable you wish to update.

Variable Value—the value to set.

For example, for a global template with a variable called "ssid_1", the CSV file might resemble what follows:
Group Name, ssid_1
Subscriber 1, Value 0
8. Once you have defined and saved a global template, it is available for use by any local group that subscribes to
the global group. Navigate to the Groups > Template configuration page for the local group and click the
pencil icon next to the name of the global template in the list.

9. To make template changes, navigate to the Groups > Template configuration page for the global group and
click the pencil icon next to the template you wish to edit. Note that you cannot edit the template itself from
the subscriber group's Groups > Templates tab.
10. If group template variables have been defined, you are able to edit the value for the group on the Groups >
Templates, Add configuration page in the Group Template Variables box. For Symbol devices, you are also
able to define the template per group of APs.
