A Site Template is used whenever a site is created in Overture. The site template specifies the default values of the site's properties, as well as the values of all sectors and radios attached to the newly-created site.

You can access the list of site templates from the Network > Sites > Templates > Edit menu option. This launches the site template collection editor:

This editor allows you to add, remove and edit the site templates in your project. In the screen shot above, the "Tri-Sectored" template has been selected, and you can see its properties on the right-hand-side. The various range properties are used when setting up new sectors and radios; these specify the valid ranges for azimuths, down-tilts, channels and so forth.

The site template also lets you specify the number of sectors to apply to a new site. In the example above, this has been set to three as it is a template for a tri-sectored site.

You can also set up the default Constraints that will be applied to each new site.

Site templates are used whenever a new site is added to an Overture project. For example, when you import site data into Overture you need to specify a site template. Site templates are also used when you manually add a site to a project by right-clicking on the map; the Default Template is used to do this. You can change the default template from the Network > Sites > Properties... menu option.
