Using WorldView 2D Tasking Templates

You can save a WorldView 2D tasking request as a template to make routine requests more efficient. Templates pre-populate tasking parameters in the tasking wizard so you can quickly create and update a tasking request.

Creating a WorldView 2D Tasking Template

If you want to reuse the parameters from your WorldView 2D tasking request, you can quickly create a template from the Summary page of the tasking wizard.

Creating a tasking template.

  1. Create a tasking request using the tasking wizard. See Placing a WorldView 2D Tasking Request.

  2. On the Summary page of the tasking wizard, select Save as Template.

  3. Checkboxes display next to each parameter. Select the checkboxes next to the parameters want to include in the template. Most parameters are included by default.

    Parameters with a gray checkmark are automatically included and cannot be turned off.

  4. In the Template Name field, enter a name for the template.

    The Template Name must be unique.

  5. Select Save. An alert appears, notifying you that the template has been saved.

    You can now use the template when you create a new tasking request.

    When you select a template, the parameters from the template are pre-populated, but you can edit them as necessary if you need to make changes.

Deleting a WorldView 2D Tasking Template

If you no longer need a tasking template, you can delete it.

  1. Open the tasking interface. See Placing a WorldView 2D Tasking Request.

  2. Select Start Order from Saved Template.

  3. From the Select Template drop-down, locate the template you want to delete, then select Delete delete.

  4. A confirmation dialog asks you if you want to delete the template. To delete the template, select Delete Template. Otherwise, select Cancel.

    Deleting a template is permanent. You cannot recover a deleted template; if you want to use a deleted template again, you will need to recreate it.
