Note: If the selected directory does not exist, ActiLife will attempt to create the directory (e.g.,
“C:\PatientDownloads”). If the user does not have administrative permissions or otherwise
cannot create the directory, this feature will automatically disable itself, thus allowing the user to
select the directory of their choice.
To force a file naming convention for template users, check the “Force Naming Convention” option and select the
desired naming convention. During the download process, file names will be of the same format selected here for those
users using the template. The “Concatenate Custom Fields” option will concatenate the custom field characters entered
by the user during download time. Multiple custom fields will be concatenated with no dashes or separation
punctuation. At this time, there are no options for reordering or hyphenating the file name parameters when using the
custom field naming convention. These features will be added in later versions of ActiLife.
Saving and Sharing Templates
Once the template parameters are set as desired, the template can be saved as a file and shared with other users. Users
can click the “Save” button in the bottom right-hand corner of the template editor or use the “File” menu to save the
template file. From the file menu, a template can be opened to make modifications (click “Open” then browse to the
template file). In addition, the template can be saved and immediately put into use by clicking “Save and Use.” This
option is helpful when testing the newly created template before emailing or sharing the template file.
Once the template is saved, a new file with an *.agt file extension will be created similar to the one shown in Figure 36.
This file can be emailed to distribution centers or shared over local networks within organizations. Users who load this
template will be forced to use the parameters as they were defined in the template editor.

Loading Templates
Once the *.agt template file has been shared, users using ActiLife (Full or LITE) can simply download the file to their local
machine (anywhere) and double-click on the file. Doing so will launch ActiLife and load the template. When done
correctly, the template name and “Last Modified” time will appear in the upper right-hand corner of the ActiLife
software as shown in Figure 18 on page 37. Once the template has been loaded once, the *.agt file can be removed
from the end-user’s computer. It is not necessary that the file remain on the user’s computer.
An alternative way of loading a template file in ActiLife is to use the “Load Template” option in the File menu. Browse to
the template file location and click ‘Open’ to load the template.
