What is an artifact template?

An artifact template is used to enter new artifacts with values for some attributes set by default. Some artifacts have identical values for some of the attributes. In that case, instead of creating new artifacts from scratch every time and setting the same set of values for those attributes, you can create an artifact template with appropriate values set for those attributes alone. When you enter a new artifact using this template, you will see the values for those attributes automatically set in the artifact entry screen. This is done by clicking on the Manage templates link in the Enter artifact page.
