existing component or device template on each remote device station
in the job.

or Niagara Network Prototype View (reoccurring
job) is open.

the Supervisor station, expand ,double-click ProvisioningNwExt and click the Copy Templates button at the
bottom of the view.
- In the top pane, Provisioning steps to run , click
(Add).
The New Job Step window opens.

File Chooser window
so you can select the template (
*.ntpl) file
to be used for deploying templates to each remote station in the job.
- Navigate to the templateCache folder
and select the Excel file to use for this step.
The system adds the step in the job sequence and displays
the template file path ORD to use.

job, click (Add).

The results if you save the job are the same as if
you upgraded each template individually with each station's Template Manager. The job reapplies initial configurations
on the template to the upgraded template.
The view changes to
the Niagara Network Job View, where steps and
results appear as they are executed.
You may include multiple Upgrade Template job steps in a single provisioning prototype to upgrade multiple
templates at the same time.
