Editing templates

To update the details of any Templates, follow these steps:

• Click on the Edit option in the 'Action' column on the right side of the row of the user to be edited.

  

• Changes can be made only to fields such as Template Name, Target, Domain/IP Address, Test Type, and Comments when modifications are required.

• To permanently store the configuration, click the Save button.

  

• A confirmation message Probe template updated successfully will appear to confirm the changes.
