Creating System Preferences Templates

Note: By leaving a preference setting unselected, the template, when applied, does not overwrite that setting for the computer.

To create a System Preferences template, perform the following steps.

  1. At the ECHOplatform ribbon, click Preferences, Manage Templates as shown below.
