Viewing a Work Item Template
This feature allows the system user to view the details of work item templates, to track and manage them easily.
Before You Begin
- You must have the “View All Work Item Templates” permission or the “View His Own (Created) Work Item Templates” permission to be able to view the template; without either, the “View” button is completely hidden.
Steps to View a Work Item Template
- From the sidebar menu, click on “Construction,” then go to “Work Item Templates.”
- Click the “View” button for the required template.
- Review the template’s details on the screen.

Displays the template’s title, code, status, and navigation buttons to move between previous or next templates. - Available Actions:

Notes
- You can track how many times a work item is used across work item templates and projects from the view screen of the product/service itself (from the “Inventory” section, then “Products & Services”):
- Work Item Templates: shows the count of active only templates where the work item is used.
- Projects: shows the count of projects where the work item is used, based on its usage within active contracts only, with a hint stating: “Total count of projects that include this work item.”
