Quicklaunch Templates are patterns or blueprints of the meeting room Quicklaunch interface that are saved as Quicklaunch Template Files (QLT). Quicklaunch templates are created to make it easy to setup additional rooms and change configurations. A template contains configuration information for the room and includes display settings, themes (colors, logo etc), action tiles, calendar and system settings. Each of these settings can be imported individually or as a whole. It provides IT an easy way to rollout or make changes to multiple rooms.
