Feature Overview

While some groups of users may want to use snapshots set to the day of their patching cycle, others may want to continue to get the latest updates of Red Hat content while also getting custom content.  

Background and Strategic Fit

Content Templates allow users to do a couple of things: 1) Use content from custom repositories 2) Control updates to systems to use content at a specific point in time.  Users that are interested in 1) but not 2) would have to manually update the template every day to receive new updates.

Goals

• Allow systems to be subscribed to a template and always get the latest Red Hat & Custom content available without regular user intervention

Requirements

Non-Functional Requirements

Use Cases (User Experience & Workflow)

1. A user has defined repositories within console.redhat.com, and snapshots have already been created.
2. A user navigates to content templates
3. A user clicks on the Add Template button
4. The user selects 1 or more red hat repos and custom repositories
5. When presented with the Date Selector, an alternative option is present to “Always Use latest Snapshot”, with an explanation of its meaning

Customer Considerations

Red Hat IT has requested this functionality

Customer Information/Supportability

Documentation Considerations 

 We will need to update the documentation for content templates to address this.
