When defining a template, a regex pattern is assigned to the template. When creating a new storage unit, if the name of the storage unit matches the pattern of the template, it will be created with the template configuration settings. Templates will be sorted by a user-defined priority. In case multiple patterns match the storage unit name, the template with the highest priority will be applied (0 is the highest priority). Priorities can be reassigned, by saving again the template with a different priority number.

Add Template

Adds or updates a configuration template. The template name is the identifier for update operations.

Request

The add template PUT/POST request requires the template name in the URL and a body with the fields:

• pattern: a regex for matching storage unit names.
• priority: a number with the template priority in the template list. 0 is the highest priority. Calling template/list will return all templates sorted by priority.
• settings: the content processing modules configuration as described in Configure Storage Unit.
  
• contentProcessing: flag to enable/disable content processing triggers. If enabled, modules configured in settings will execute for the configured scopes.
• encryptContent: flag to enable/disable content encryption.
• compressContent: flag to enable/disable content compression.
• reprocessingQueue: flag to enabled/disable background reprocessing.
