Code Template Tasks

The following context-specific tasks are available throughout the Edit Code Templates View: Task Icon Task Name Description Refresh Refreshes the list of code templates / libraries. If there are unsaved changes, you are prompted to save first before refreshing. Save Changes Saves all changes made to all code templates / libraries. Changes to a code template will cause its revision to increment. Changes to a library, or adding/removing code templates to/from the library, will cause its revision to increment. New Code Template Creates a new code template in the currently selected library. If there are currently no libraries configured for your server, you must first create a new library before this task becomes available. New Library Creates a new code template library and adds it to the table. By default the library is not included in any channels. Use the Channels table in the Edit Library Panel to link the library to specific channels. Import Code Templates Import a single code templa

Link Libraries to Channels

In order to use code templates within channels, the library must be linked to the channel. This is important because it allows you to "namespace" your code so that the same function name can appear in multiple libraries but serve different purposes. It also allows a degree of isolation, so that a particularly expensive code template need not be included in all channels, but instead only in the channels it needs to be. To edit the links between code template libraries and channels, use the Channels table on the right side of this panel. The [New Channels] check box indicates that the library should be included not only for the currently checked channels, but also on all new channels that get created later. For example if you have a library that you wish to always include on all channels no matter what, check this option. Note that these links are the same as what is configured in the Code Template Libraries dependency tab in the Summary Tab of the Edit Channel View. Parent topic: Edit L

Code Template Library Table

The table in the top section of the Edit Code Templates View shows all currently configured code templates and libraries. The name column is displayed as a tree, showing libraries at the hierarchical top level, and all child code templates at a lower level. The filter field at the bottom allows you to easily filter down to a particular code template or library by typing in all or part of the name. The status label to the left of the filter displays how many total code templates / libraries are configured, and how many are currently shown with the given filter. For additional information on tables in Mirth® Connect, see Mirth Connect Administrator. Image of the Code Templates library table Column Description Name The name of the code template or library. This column displays as a tree, showing libraries at the hierarchical top level, and all child code templates at a lower level. Double-click on this column to edit the name. Id The unique identifier for the code template or library. Typ

Export Channel

When exporting channels, you have the option to include all code template libraries associated with the channel as well. If Yes is chosen, the code template libraries shown in the dialog will be included and embedded into the channel export XML If you want to automatically make the same choice (Yes or No) for all future exports, you can check the "Always choose "check box. You can change this again later in the Administrator Settings Tab. Parent topic: Channel Tasks

Export Group

Similar to exporting channels, when exporting channel groups you have the option to include all associated code template libraries: If Yes is chosen, the code template libraries shown in the dialog will be included and embedded into the channel group export XML. Whether you choose Yes or No, if you want to automatically make the same choice for all future exports, you can check the "Always choose" check box. That setting may be changed later in the Administrator Settings Tab. Parent topic: Group Tasks

Import Channel

When importing channels, you have the option to include all code template libraries associated with the channel as well. A special dialog pops up for this purpose if any code template libraries were included: Importing Code Templates / Libraries If the channel you are importing has the same name as an existing channel on the server, a warning dialog will be shown: You will then be asked whether you want the imported channel to overwrite the existing channel with the same name: If No is chosen, you will then be prompted to enter a new unique name for the imported channel: Parent topic: Channel Tasks
