Submit and copy templates from the Templates list

Overview

The Templates list in NGINX One Console has two row actions: Submit and Make a Copy. Use these actions to work with config templates instead of building Templates API requests by hand.

Select Submit on a finalized base template to open the Submit Template panel. The panel guides you through filling in parameter values. You can preview the rendered NGINX configuration before you save.

Select Make a Copy on any template to create a new draft template from its latest version.

Before you begin

Before you begin, make sure you have:

NGINX One Console access: You need template write permission to use the Submit and Make a Copy row actions.
An imported template: At least one template must exist in Manage > Config Templates. If you don’t have any templates yet, import one first. See Import templates for instructions.
A finalized base template: To use Submit, you need at least one base template in the final state.

Submit a template

The Submit option is available for templates of type base that are in the final state.

Go to Manage > Config Templates. The Templates list opens and shows every imported template with its available row actions, as well as F5-provided templates.
Select Submit on a base template that’s in the final state to create a template submission from the Templates list.
Fill in the parameter values for the base template.
Preview the rendered NGINX configuration.
Select Save to create the submission and publish it to your chosen targets.

Edit an existing submission

You can also use the Edit Template Submission panel to edit an existing submission. Open the submission from the Submissions section on the Template Detail page.

Copy a template

The Make a Copy option is available for any template, regardless of its type or state. It creates a new draft template from the latest version of the selected template.

Go to Manage > Config Templates. The Templates list opens and shows every imported template with its available row actions.
Select Make a Copy on the template you want to copy.
Fill in the name and description for the new template copy.

NGINX One Console creates a new draft template at version 1. It copies the files, template type, and context configuration from the source template.

What happens next

After you submit or copy a template, view the result on the Template Detail page. Submissions appear in the Submissions section for the submitted template.

API reference

The Templates list row actions use the following API operations:

Submit: Uses the Submit Templates API to create or update a template submission.
Make a Copy: Uses the Copy a template API operation.
