point lists. The left-hand (denoted ‘1’) list is pre-filled and contains the selected source

sources. These can be scalar or structured data points. In any case the decision, which auto-
generate template applies, is based on that single data point. If a given set of source data
points shall generate another specific set of target data points, so-called
complex
auto-
generate templates can be used. These are based on folders that contain the described data
points (i.e., name and types must match). With a complex auto-generate template the entire
