 Template Calculation process

The Template Calculation process is designed to turn a template into an automated calculation engine.

The process automates the following steps that a user performs manually:

1. Open the template in data-entry mode.
2. Allow all the cell formulas in the template to recalculate based on the current data values that it reads from the source model(s).
3. Click Save. The calculated data is saved to the model.
4. Close the template.

If a template contains multiple page dimensions, the Template Calculation process loops through the pages, opening and saving them, one after another.
