How static and dynamic templates are used

How the static or dynamic template is used depends on whether the function requests a new or an existing view or criteria set.

If the function requests a new view or criteria set, the static or dynamic template is used to format database segments into their individual fields. The function creates a temporary view or criteria set that is based on the static or dynamic template. You can save the temporary view or criteria set for future use.

If the function has requested an existing view or criteria set, how the static or dynamic template is used depends on which usage rules have been specified.
