To create a template, you can:
The template editor contains a Palette and a Canvas.
1. Palette
Fields tab: Area where you select the data fields to include in the template. Initially, the Fields palette is empty. Each field that you click in the palette appears as a column header in the canvas.
Filter tab (unselected in the figure): Area where you optionally filter data by MOVEit sources.
2. Canvas
The main workspace that contains all of the template's data fields, placed as column headers. New templates do not contain any fields.
