Atoll 2.8.2 : Creating a new atoll Document from a Template

Creating a New Atoll Document from a Template

To create a new document from a template:

1. Select File > New > From a Document Template. The Project Templates dialogue appears.

2. Select the template on which you want to base your document and click OK. Atoll creates a new document based on the template selected.

Figure 2.1 shows a new Atoll document based on the UMTS HSPA HSPA template. The Data tab of the Explorer window now has a folder structure suitable for a UMTS HSPA HSPA radio-planning project, with, among other UMTSUMTS-specific elements, folders for UMTS HSPA HSPA parameters and UMTS HSPA HSPA simulations. The Antennas folder is expanded to show the UMTSUMTS-compatible antennas suggested by Atoll. These can be modified or replaced. Figure 2.2 and Figure 2.3 show the contents of the Geo and Modules tabs of the new document, respectively.

When you create an Atoll document from a template, the document is not connected to a database.

To verify whether the document is connected to a database:

• Select File > Database > Connection Properties. The dialogue in Figure 2.4 appears.
