AI Script Generation Templates
Blueprints can be exported as Blueprint Templates. This allows you to create additional Blueprints more efficiently. You can create a base template and make iterative configuration changes as needed.
You must also follow this process if you need to change the configuration of a Blueprint. Blueprint configurations cannot be modified after the Blueprint has been executed. See Modifying Blueprint Configuration Settings for more information.
Exporting a Blueprint as a Blueprint Template
You can export an existing Blueprint to a Blueprint so you can reuse settings.
See Upgrading Blueprint Files to AI Script Generation Files for information on how custom actions are handled when creating a new blueprint from a template.
The Blueprint must not be running.
-
Click on the three dots ( ...) on the right of the Blueprint Overview page.
-
Select Export Template.
-
Enter a name for your template file and click Save.
-
Your Blueprint Template is now available in your repository.
Create New Blueprint from Blueprint Template
If you previously created a Blueprint Template from an existing Blueprint, you can use that template to create new Blueprints. See above for information on exporting a Blueprint to a template file.
See Upgrading Blueprint Files to AI Script Generation Files for information on how custom actions are handled when creating a new blueprint from a template.
-
Open the Blueprint Designer. See Launching AI Script Generation if you need more information on how to access the Blueprint Designer.
-
Click +New from the top left of the Blueprint Overview page.
-
Select Blueprint from Template.
-
Select the template file you created and click Open.
-
Enter a name for your new Blueprint file and click Save.
-
You can now configure your Blueprint. See Configuring the Web AISG for more information.
The file is not actually saved until you execute the Blueprint. This means that after you configure everything, then reload the page or leave and come back before executing the Blueprint, all data and configuration settings will be gone.
Blueprint Sharing Considerations
If you are exporting blueprint templates and sharing them with other AIQ users, there are some issues to consider. When you import a blueprint into your repository, the file paths to the blueprint elements (SmartTags, validations, network library, and AI hints files) will be the absolute paths from the original repository location.
You will either need to browse to the file location and reselect the files, or make sure that your repository structure mirrors the original repository structure,
