Caliton Template Analyzer enables Lotus Notes developers and administrators to discover exactly where their templates are being used and misused within their organisation.

Lotus Notes templates allow developers to share code and database design amongst multiple applications. This design sharing and reuse are the cornerstones of an efficient software development process.

Caliton Template Analyzer determines exactly which Lotus Notes databases inherit from a particular design element or template. So developers can now be 100% sure about the effect of changing or deleting a design element in a template.

Design templates often become misused or forgotten about, and the design of an application can become disconnected from the original design templates.

Caliton Template Analyzer identifies all the serious problems related to design template misuse, such as missing design elements, orphaned design elements, design elements that are set to inherit from the wrong template and so on.

?The idea for Caliton Template Analyzer was born when we wanted to delete a subform from one of our internal templates. We had to be 100% sure that the subform wasn?t being used anywhere.? said Ethann Castell, Caliton Innovations General Manager. ?We had several hundred application databases to manually search through, and that would have taken many hours. With Caliton Template Analyzer now the whole process will take a few minutes. That equals big savings in terms of time and money.?
