The following suggestions can be helpful as you design your templates:
§ Maintain backups of all templates.
§ When creating or modifying templates, save them separately from the supplied SoDA templates.
§ Do not modify the original SoDA-supplied templates in the SoDA templates domain subdirectories. These are used in the tight integration within each Rational product. These also provide a clean starting point for new templates.
§ Establish a numbering scheme for the different revisions. Use the File > Save As command in Word to name each revision.
§ Create a minimal sample domain that includes all the elements in your actual domain. This sample set allows you to generate quick tests of template on a representative subset of your actual source information.
§ Edit each template, as needed, directly in the template or in the Template View.
