The Program Configurations Analysis Templates module provides the capability to configure statistical calculation options specific to each analysis run for a program.  Within this module, depending on assigned role, users are able to do the following: 

• Create, view, edit, duplicate, enable/disable, and delete templates
• Apply templates to selected test(s) under the specified program
• Configure default Statistics Tags

The combination of what is configured in the Analysis Template and Test Settings is what drives each analysis in a request. 

To navigate to the Analysis Templates module, from the Main Navigation toolbar select Configurations and then Analysis Templates.
