Editing common App Template settings​

You can modify the Template Name and Alias from the Common section of the App Template Manager.

caution

An alias is the Template's unique identifier across your ArconQ instance. You will not be able to change it to an existing alias.

Remember to save your changes by clicking the UPDATE button.

Changing template files, startup commands and settings​

The App Template Manager allows you to modify these aspects of an App Template by creating an App Template Revision.
