IRIS Forms needs templates that describe the formatting rules used to validate and to automatically build the forms. These templates are defined in the ISM product, and must be imported into IRIS Forms using the Template Manager. Templates can be in form of Mission Files, XSD Schemas or an IRIS Configuration Package.
A template can be either a basic template or a customised template. A basic template are a template that is described in a baseline of a given standard. Basic templates can be used to create customised templates, which are templates that have been tailored by the user.
