๐Ÿ—ƒ๏ธ Execution Templates

Execution Templates allow you to save commonly used executions so you can quickly re-run them without manually configuring each time. This is especially useful for recurring tests or scheduled regression runs.


๐Ÿ“‚ Template Typesโ€‹

X-AutoMate supports three types of execution templates:

TypeDescription
SimpleTemplate for a single execution (ETL, DQ, Custom, or Reconciliation tests).
DAGTemplate for a Workflow execution.
GroupTemplate for a Group of executions.

Templates can be created in two ways:

1. From an Execution Pageโ€‹
