Binding a template to a view field

To use a template to display in a view field without workflow, set the Text property of the view field to template: templateName. The parameters in a template used this way must reference fields on the form by field ID. An application can create a rich HTML-based data display using a cell-based table with data fields and a view field with a template bound to it.

To redisplay a view field with a template bound to it, for example, after one of the referenced fields has its value changed, use workflow to assign the value of the view field to itself or to a value generated by the TEMPLATE function, as describe in the next section.

2. Create a new entry and attach the template to the AR System Resource Definitions form. 
3. Update Text property on your view field to name of the resource. For example, template:SampleTemplate.
