LabNote Templates

What is a LabNote Template

You can use a Template function to save your previously written experiment notes. And then, when you write a new LabNote of similar experiments later, you can simply leverage this Template.

Save Template 

You can select all or partial information to save them as your Template. 

1. In LabNote, first, click Template button in the top right corner and then click Save as Template to open the saving Template modal.
2. Select the checkbox of Procedure, Process, or Set/Material blocks created in the current LabNote that you want to save as a Template. Then, click Save.
3. The rules of checkbox are the following: 
   • When certain Material & Set blocks are unchecked, they will not be part of the Template.
   • Within the hierarchy of Procedure, Process, Material/ Set blocks, when the parent entity is unchecked, all the child entities are unchecked, and when all the child entities are checked, the parent is checked.
   • If you wish to selectively check the child entities, first uncheck the parent entity and then select the wanted child entities. 
   • Each Procedure can be Folded & UnFolded.
4. When creating Templates, you can include both/or Main experiments and Sub-experiments.
5. You can check the saved Templates in the Open Template. 

Open & Delete Template

You can open previously saved Templates to leverage your LabNote creation process. 

1. In LabNote, first, click Template button in the top right corner and then click Open Template to open the saving Template modal.
2. Template list is in the order of the recent view.
3. Search for the wanted Template when there are too many Templates in the list.
4. Click Template item to see the preview of the Template.
5. In the preview, you can check the Procedure, Process, & Material/Set blocks in both the Main experiment and Sub-experiment.
6. Once you find the wanted Template, click Open Template to open the pre-written notes.
   - Note that if you open the Template, the existing contents in the current LabNote are deleted. 
7. To delete a Template, mouse-hover over to the Template in the Open Template list, and click the Trash icon. Deleted Templates cannot be recovered.
