User’s Database Template
A database template called USERTEMPLATE is added upon installation of the CEQ
software. The USERTEMPLATE database is used to store newly created methods and
parameters. These methods and parameters are then included in all subsequently
created databases. Use the Cut, Copy and Paste functions to add methods and
parameters to the USERTEMPLATE.
The USERTEMPLATE database cannot be set as the Working Database , but it can be
deleted. If the USERTEMPLATE database is deleted, no template will be used for
