Templates are special defined data elements created to solve common report issues for users. Within MarcEdit, available templates are loaded in the templates dropdown box:
Templates generally exist because these solve common report needs that sometimes require variable data or complicated processing/output options. These can often be setup by the user using format options, but Templates provide a shortcut for users.
If you have a suggestion for a template, please feel free to reach out.
