Templates

Template can be developed to set definitions for Device, Network, Objects and Policies settings on numerous firewalls. It brings scalability to the overall firewall management process. These templates can be reused or reworked for other configurations.

Navigate to Manager View | Home > Templates to see the inventory of all your templates in a tabular format. Multi-tenant administrators can click on the tenant name (highlighted in the below image) and select any other tenant to list the templates associated with the selected tenancy.

You can use the Search feature to find a specific template to use. To customize columns, click Column Selection, and select or clear the options to include or hide the data of the selected columns.
