A company may choose to define a number of document, life cycle, and workflow templates that they want all their business units and partners to use. For example, the site may want to define a document template and associated life cycle and workflow process for capturing enhancement requests for the Windchill system. Or a company may want to make a corporate presentation template available to all its business units.

The site can define product, library, project, program, and organization templates. Organization templates are required to create organizations. For more information, see Understanding Context Templates.

You can restrict which templates are made available to the applications within the site by choosing to hide certain templates at the site level. For more information, see Filtrage de la visibilité des modèles.
