Activating templates
To change which template needs to be active within E-Catch can be done at any given moment in the program. Switching between templates is done by using the main toolbar of E-Catch.
As shown in the picture above, under the button “Template” there is a drop down menu which shows all available sets of templates. When clicked on a template it will be set as the new active template. This menu also shows which is the current active template using a green icon and the name of the active template is shown in the top left corner of the program. For example the picture above shows “Fishing Trip – ALL” indicating that “ALL” is the template currently in use.
