Overview

This page tells you how to create a Universal Template, Universal Template Fields, and Universal Template Field Choices, and Universal Template Event Templates.

You must create Universal Templates in order to create Universal Tasks. For each Universal Template that you create, Universal Controller creates a Universal Task type for which you can create one or more Universal Tasks.

...

If the Universal Template Field that you create is a Choice (drop-down list) field, you must create the choices.

If the Universal Template Template Type is Extension, you can create Event Templates for the Universal Template .

For detailed information on Universal Templates and Fields, see Universal Templates Overview.

...

The Type will show as COMMAND, and to allow for better correlation, a new Command Name field will display the label of the command that generated the output.
