C:\VTS\VTS\TEMPLATE
The VTS layer Template directory can be found within the VTS layer directory (which exists within the VTS installation directory). The VTS layer Template directory is used as the basis for all new standard applications. Whenever a new standard application is created, all the files and directories within the VTS layer Template directory are copied, and the copies are placed within the new standard application's directory. The contents of the VTS layer Template directory are outlined in the table below.
The Template subdirectory within the VTS layer directory contains the following directories and files:
