The Template Routings tree tab provides access to Product Family Routings that can be used as templates for copying elements to an item routing you are creating. You can define a routing for a product family the same way as performed in the Item Routings view of the workbench, and can perform all the same functions as in the routings region.

   Using product family routings as templates:

1. Choose the Template Routings tree tab.

2. Select Template Routings node detail on the tree, and left-click with your mouse.

   The Template Routings tab displays the routings for all Product Families assigned to the line designated. In the initial view the right pane is blank.

3. Select New from the popup menu.

   Or you can create a new product family routing. In the Add Item Routing window, use the option to create an entirely new routing. See: Adding a New Item Routing

   After you select a routing, a blank Line Operation window displays in the right pane. This blank window is the canvas used as a template.

4. Use the toolbar to add icons to create a routing network. See: Creating the Graphical Network

5. Save your work.

   This routing is now available to use when creating a new routing, see: Adding a New Item Routing
