Create an object template

Procedure

1. In your Home view, choose Tools -> Microsoft Office Templates -> Create Object Template.
2. Select Object Template from the list of item types, then click Next.
3. Type an item ID and revision ID in the Item ID and Revision ID boxes, or click Assign to automatically assign the IDs.
4. Type a name for the object template in the Name box. (Optionally, type a description.)
5. Click Finish. The Object Template item, Object Template Revision item revision, and associated Full Text dataset are created in the ObjectTemplates folder, located in the RequirementsManagement Templates folder in your Home folder.
6. (Optional) To update the object template content, double-click the Full Text dataset — the template opens in Word.
7. (Optional) Modify the content, save the Word document, and close Word.

Caution: If the object template is intended for export to the Live integration with Word output mode, the {%object_name} property keyword is required. Otherwise, structure data cannot be edited in live Word.
