Create a template by copying an existing template

You can create a Nexus Insight report template in these ways:

• In Nexus Insight (the recommended method), export the template settings from a report as a template (JSON file) to create a new template (see Create a template by exporting report settings).

• In Windows File Explorer, copy and rename an existing template. You then use your preferred text editor to edit the JSON file for the new template (see the following information).

To create a new report template by copying an existing template in Windows File Explorer:

1. In Windows File Explorer, locate the report templates, which are JSON files stored in the following default location:
   C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vicon\NexusInsight\Templates
   Tip: If you want to use the latest version of one of the default templates (Gait, Cutting or Hitting template) as a basis for your new template but have made changes to an earlier version of the template in the above folder, see the following tip for information on preserving your changes.

2. In Windows File Explorer, copy the required template and give it a different name from the original template.

3. Open the JSON file for the renamed template in your preferred text editor and change its ID (see the description for id).
   Important: Each template in Nexus Insight must have an ID that is unique within the Templates folder. (Valid input is ASCII and Unicode, up to 100 characters.)

4. To enable you to easily identify the new template in the Report template menu in Nexus Insight, also change the label of the copied template.

5. Make any other required changes (for descriptions of the settings you can change, see Edit a Nexus Insight template JSON file).

6. Save the template copy, keeping it in the same folder.
