1.1.1 Flow of service template development

In JP1/AO, you can use service templates to automate operating procedures. This functionality is particularly effective when applied to the automation of complex operating procedures, or those that are executed often but at random times.

You can create new service templates. You can also use the existing templates provided by JP1/AO^#1 without modification, or copy an existing template and edit it^#2 by adding and removing steps as needed.

#1:

Service templates provided by JP1/AO include the service templates provided with the JP1/AO standard package and the JP1/AO Content Set (available separately).

#2:

Before you can edit a service template provided by JP1/AO, you need to import the service template.

Tip

If you want to use a content plug-in provided by JP1/AO as the basis for service template development, either import the service template that contains the content plug-in or import the Utility Components service template. Importing the Utility Components service template imports every content plug-in in the JP1/AO standard package, making the JP1/AO Standard-package content plug-ins available for development purposes.

The following figure shows the general procedure for developing service templates.
