Programme templates are utilised to create an easy to access template of types, statuses, attributes and REflow links to make it easy to create new programmes.
When creating a programme, you are given the option to create a template which will automatically create a large portion of the programme for you.
You are required to have a template programme setup before you can create a separate programme, this is so that the creation of an additional programme at a later stage can be done.
Editing an existing programme template will change the values on all existing REflows or Programmes that currently use this template, making it easy to add additional statuses and types to programmes where neccesary.
