Templates and template folders
Templates are used as masters for frequently used types of documents (letters, reports, forms), usually including elaborate layout and formatting information or complex formulas in the case of spreadsheets. In BSCW, you can declare arbitrary objects as templates: polls, flow folders and tasks or even folders including their entire contents.
All templates must be put into template folders, special
folders which contain only templates. Template folders can carry any name, they
are identified by a specific icon 
. Because otherwise
template folders behave like ordinary folders, they may also be shared with
other users. This way, e.g., you may set up sets of shared templates for use by
your working team. In addition to user-defined template folders containing
templates for the use of an individual or a workspace group, there are also
system-wide template folders accessible to all registered users of the BSCW
server, which are managed by the system administrator.
