This section explains how to save in a template a set of count conditions and view items you specified with the Count Client wizard. Once you save a set of count conditions in a template, you can perform the same count again with the same conditions by simply selecting the template. Templates are useful when you make frequent use of the same conditions for counts. Note that information about the hosts subject to being counted is not stored in the template. You must select hosts each time you use the template. For details about how to use templates, see 4.4 Using templates.
