I'd like to build some custom DOORS Object headings so that anyone who creates new requirements modules will have a basic structure to coordinate with my custom word.dot file for styles.

I've created and saved a custom template based on the examples in the DOORSHOME/lib/dxl/standard/template directory, but when I try to create a new formal module using a template, my custom template does not appear in the dialog tree.  Have I forgotten something?

Also, since the template directory is on my local machine (fat client), how do I set it up so that these templates are available on some shared drive?

Thanks!

Create a new folder in the template directory, for example, "MyTemplates". In this folder, you need to create a .hlp file that contains the folder name you want to appear in the dialog tree. (I just copied one of the .hlp files from one of the example folders, then edited it in notepad. The only text in the file is "MyTemplates".)

Then just put your new template .dxl files in the MyTemplates folder and you should be good to go!

Not sure about sharing it though... I'm just going to install the folder on all the client machines.

Thanks Brian!  I'll give it a try.

Is there a similar folder on the DOORSNet server?  I would like these templates to be available for web users.
