### 13.4.9. Opening Process Template Files

You can open process template XML files that are stored on your local file system or in an EKM repository using the File > Open action. EKM process templates can either have the .pt.xml extension or the .wf.xml or .wfxml for previous EKM releases.

To open a process template that is located on your local file system, select File > Open > Local File, then choose the location in the Open dialog box.

To open a process template that is located in a connected EKM repository, choose File > Open > Repository File. The Open Process Template dialog box opens.

Select the process template to open. By default, process templates in My Applications and Shared Applications are shown. You can also display templates in a specified repository folder by enabling the Repository Folder check box, and then clicking Browse to select the folder. Once you have selected the desired folder, click Apply to display the folder’s contents in the selection window. To filter the list of templates, simply disable the check box of the folder that contains the templates that you want to hide.

If you attempt to open a process template that contains errors, the following message appears:

Figure 13.24: Warning of Errors in Process Template

If you attempt to open a process template (previously called a workflow) from an earlier version of EKM, and it contains layout information that is incompatible with the current release, the following message appears:

Figure 13.25: Warning of Invalid Layout in Process Template

EKM Studio began using a grid system in Release 15.0 to lay out nodes and transitions. Therefore, diagrams in Release 15.0 and later are slightly different than those created in previous versions. To correct the invalid layout of an older template, you can take advantage of the "Automatic Layout" feature in newer releases. For details see Correcting an Invalid Layout.
