How to use Templates for Bulk Operations in WISKI

[cmcguire]

We are trying to copy time series for the same parameter between different sites.  When we select the relevant time series, right click and select 'Store as time series template...' and click save it does not show up in the bulk operations window.

We can click 'Export' and save it to the desktop but the template is not shared between users.  Any ideas on how to do this without an export? @SteveWKISTERS

Hi Chris,

It looks like the Bulk Operations approach requires that the template is exported. That said, you can roll out the template within WISKI without using Bulk Operations - it just requires a little more filtering. Once you've saved your template, you'll need to query out all the Stations / Parameters that you want to roll the template out to (i.e. all Q parameters in Site X, or all HG parameters in Stations A-Z).

*Remember - you need to execute a template at 1 level in the hierarchy above the feature. So if you've stored a time series template, it needs to be run on the Parameter level. If its a Parameter template, it needs to be run on the Station level, and so on. 

Once you have that query ready, run it and view the results in the Explorer - this takes you to a Temporary Query folder that has all the Sites / Stations / Parameters that you're looking to roll the template out on.

Select all the data in that folder, right click and choose "Execute .... template".

I believe you'll need to fill agent details (i.e. import #'s) but 95% of the build up work is done.
