4. Use the drop-down menu to select a device from which to build the global template and select Fetch. The
menus are populated with all devices that are contained in any group that subscribes to the global group. The
fetched configuration populates the template field. Global template variables can be configured with the Add
button in the Template Variables box, illustrated in
Figure 111 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, select Add. You are taken to a confirmation configuration
page where you can review your changes.
6. If you want to add the global template, select Apply Changes Now. If you do not want to add the template,
select Cancel and Discard Changes. 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. Go to the Groups > Templates configuration page and select 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. Go to the Groups > Template configuration page for the local group and select the pencil
icon next to the global template in the list.
