Associating a Template with a Supersedence Chain

You associate an Update Template with a supersedence chain by selecting one or more updates in the chain. You do not need to select all updates in the chain.

  1. In the Updates grid, select one or more updates in the desired supersedence chain.
  2. Click the Associate Template toolbar icon.
    The Template Library is displayed.
  3. Choose the desired template and then click Associate template.
    The template will be associated with the supersedence chains containing the selected updates. Note that this could be two or more chains if the selected updates belong to multiple supersedence chains.
  4. In addition, the template name will be added to the Associated Template column for each update in the supersedence chain.

Dissociating a Template from a Supersedence Chain

  1. In the Updates grid, select one or more updates in the supersedence chain.
  2. Click the Dissociate Template toolbar icon.
    The template name will be removed from the Associated Template column for each update in the supersedence chain. Future publications of the updates in the supersedence chain will not apply any custom installation commands.
