# Template designer

# Template Designer

A Template Designer is a key user role in the Global PRS system responsible for creating and managing program registration templates that define the structure and behavior of registration forms across different programs.

## Role Overview

Template Designers are responsible for:

* Creating and maintaining program registration templates
* Configuring field validations and display conditions
* Setting up integration points with other systems
* Ensuring template compliance with data collection requirements
* Testing and validating template behavior

## Required Skills

* Understanding of JEXL expressions for field conditions
* Knowledge of form validation patterns and best practices
* Familiarity with JSON structure and formatting
* Basic understanding of regex patterns for field validation
* Experience with form UX/UI principles

## Access Permissions

Template Designers have access to:

* Template management interface
* Field configuration tools
* Validation rule editor
* Template preview and testing environment
* Template version history

## Common Tasks

### 1. Creating Registration Templates

* Define basic template information (name, description, version)
* Set up template sections and field groups
* Configure field properties and validation rules
* Establish field dependencies and conditional logic

### 2. Field Configuration

* Set up mandatory field validations
* Configure display expressions using JEXL
* Define field placeholders and default values
* Set up marketing tracking flags
* Configure field dependencies

### 3. Validation Rules

* Implement field-level validation rules
* Set up cross-field validations
* Configure error messages
* Test validation scenarios

### 4. Integration Setup

* Configure integration points with external systems
* Set up data mapping rules
* Define data transformation logic
* Test integration flows

## Best Practices

### Template Design

1. **Modular Design**
   * Break down complex forms into logical sections
   * Reuse common field groups across templates
   * Maintain consistent field naming conventions

2. **Validation Implementation**
   * Write clear, user-friendly error messages
   * Keep regex patterns simple and efficient
   * Test validations against edge cases
   * Document complex validation rules

3. **Performance Considerations**
   * Optimize JEXL expressions for performance
   * Minimize complex conditional logic
   * Test template performance with large datasets

### Version Control

1. **Template Versioning**
   * Maintain clear version numbering
   * Document template changes
   * Test template updates thoroughly
   * Coordinate deployments with system administrators
