Create a Protective Instrument Loop Template

To create a Protective Instrument Loop Template, you must first create a Protective Instrument Loop, and then save it as a template.

When you save a Protective Instrument Loop as a template, the GE Digital APM system:

• Creates a copy of each record in the loop (including the elements).
• Appends the word Template to the ID of the loop and all the elements.

Note: Any changes made to the original Protective Instrument Loop do not reflect in the copied record that you have saved as a template.

Before You Begin

Steps

1. Access the Protective Instrument Loop that you want to save as a template.

   The Protective Instrument Loop is saved as a template.
