Creating a template with the Image Library

In the Lens navigation menu, expand the Workstations item and select the Configuration page

In the tabs view, go to the Templates section, and select the Image Library

Find the image you would like to create a template with, and select the Create template button

The Image Library modal will open, and you will be presented with the welcome page

In the Variant section, select the variant and version you wish to use. From this screen, you can also view the readme file and see what applications are installed. Once you are ready, click Next.

On the Naming page, enter a name for the template. The wizard will automatically generate a hostname prefix, but this can be customised as you wish. Once you are ready, click Next.

On the Workstation page, select the AWS instance type from the dropdown menu. You may select multiple types, and place them in order of their preference.
If you cannot see some instance types, it may be because this image only supports certain image families. A link detailing the supported instance families will appear below the select box in this case.

If you would like to automatically add workstations from this template to a pool, select a pool from the Pools select box.

Please note that only pools created in Lens, with the OR logic mode (the default), will be selectable.

Once you are ready, click the Next button.

You will be presented with a summary of the template. Once you are ready, click the Create template button.

The wizard will create the template for you, and will then prompt you on what to do next. You can:

1. Close the wizard

2. Edit the template: This will open the template editor

3. Create a workstation from the template

If you clicked the Create workstation button, another step will be added to the progress window as Lens creates the workstation for you. Once this is complete, you can go to the Workstation overview page to view the provisioning progress.
