View template details
Use this page to view metadata, submissions and version history for a config template in NGINX One Console. The Template Detail page has two tabs: Details and Versions.
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- NGINX One Console access: You need permission to view config templates.
- An existing template: At least one template must exist in Manage > Config Templates.
- In the NGINX One Console, go to Manage > Config Templates.
- Select a template name from the list. F5 templates show the F5 logo icon in the list.
The Details tab opens by default. Select the Versions tab to view the full version history.
The Details tab contains a metadata summary card for the template and a Submissions section below it listing all submissions created with this template.
The metadata summary card displays the following fields:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Created | The date and time the template was created. |
| Type | The template type: base or augment. See Template types for details. |
| Is F5 Default | Displayed for templates provided by F5. F5 default templates are immutable and cannot be modified or deleted. |
| Object ID | The unique identifier for the template (tmpl_...). Use this value in API operations for the template, such as updating metadata or copying a template. Select the copy button to copy it. |
| State | The state of the latest template version: draft (editable) or final (immutable, shown with a lock icon). |
| Latest Version | The version number of the most recent template version. |
| Description | The human-readable description of the template, if the author provided one. |
| Latest Object ID | The unique identifier for the latest template version (tmplv_...). Use the copy button to copy this value for version-level API operations, such as providing the object_id when submitting templates. |
Both Object ID and Latest Object ID are copyable directly from the UI.
- Object ID (
tmpl_...) identifies the template itself and is used for template-level operations (metadata updates, copy, delete, listing versions).- Latest Object ID (
tmplv_...) identifies the current version and is used as theobject_idin submission requests.
The Versions tab lists every version created for the template, along with submission counts and modification timestamps. See View template versions for full details.
Select Refresh at the top right of the page to reload the template details from the server.
The Template Detail page uses the Retrieve a Template API operation, which returns the latest version details including metadata, file contents, and submission count.
Symptom: The Template Detail page shows no data or an error.
Cause: The template may have been deleted, or you may not have permission to view it.
Fix: Go to Manage > Config Templates and confirm the template exists. If it does, ask your administrator to check your access permissions.
