Template folders are special folders with templates that can be copied to other folders. Any objects can be used as templates, e.g. documents of any kind, surveys, circulars and tasks or even folders with their entire content. Typical examples of templates are letter or form templates with extensive layout and formatting information and, if necessary, calculation formulas. The templates are filled with specific content after copying.
In addition to user-defined template folders that contain templates for the use of a single person or a workgroup, there are system-wide template folders that are accessible to all registered users of the BSCW server and that are managed by the system administrator.
