How it works

The Template Status Checker tool compares each of your templates to the latest system version available. After running the tool, a status for each template is displayed based on its version and modification status. The status report lets you quickly determine if updates are needed.

After completing the scan, a detailed report displays the following columns:

• Status
  The status or characteristics of the template in color-coded icons. The number that displays next to an icon is the number of templates detected with that status.
• Tag Name
  The name of the tag.
• Latest Version
  The latest version available to the tag template marked by the version number or the date.
• Version
  The version detected by the tool, displays as Latest or Old.
• UID
