HTML5 Export Application Template Configuration

In Niagara 4.14 and later, there is added browser support to export an application template configuration as an Excel (*.xlsx) file on each station in the job. It is available in the New Job Step menu when adding a step in either the Niagara Network Job Builder or Niagara Network Prototype View. The “HTML5” version of this view is a web-browser-based implementation and it provides the same functions as the Workbench view.

Figure 1. Export Application Template Configuration

To access this view, expand Config > Drivers > NiagaraNetwork and click .ProvisioningNwExt. To open the job steps window, click and double-click Export Application Template Configuration or select Export Application Template Configuration and click OK.

The Export Application Template Configuration window opens. Enter the station password and click OK. This adds the job step in the top pane (Provisioning steps to run) of the Niagara Network Job Builder or the Niagara Network Prototype View

A prerequisite for adding this step to a provisioning job is that there is an existing application template to be exported.

See the “Template bulk deployment” section of the Niagara Templates Guide for details on creating, configuring, and deploying templates.

Note: Application templates are not made available from the Template sidebar. Instead, the files (*napl) can be found in the Windows User Home applicationTemplates folder.

This opens a File Chooser window where you navigate to the Supervisor’s ^applicationTemplates folder and select the application template file (*.napl) to use for this step and click the Export Configs option. The step will be added to the job sequence and will show the file path ORD to use.

For more details, see “Exporting the template spreadsheet” in this guide.
