What is a DataSource template?
[View the DataSource template tutorial]
A DataSource template is the interface between Stator and your historical data. A DataSource template identifies the format, location and other settings which are used by Stator to read historical price data.
Opening the DataSource Manager
To open the DataSource manager;
1. From the "Tools" menu, select "DataSource Manager".
2. Select the "Templates" tab.
The picture above shows the DataSource Manager with the default, pre-installed templates. This tutorial will illustrate how to assign the "Stator Default" template to all of the CODE/CURRENCY/EXCHANGE in the Stator Data Layer.

CODE/CURRENCY/EXCHANGE
The term CODE/CURRENCY/EXCHANGE is used to describe the elements within the Stator Data Layer that need to be connected to a DataSource.
For example, if you have three trades of BHP (ASX) in your Data Layer, it only needs to be mapped (using the DataSource template) to your historical data once.
If you select the "DataSources" tab of the DataSource Manager you will see all the CODE/CURRENCY/EXCHANGE in the Data Layer. Each of these elements needs to be mapped to historical data using a DataSource Template.
The picture above shows all of the CODE/CURRENCY/EXCHANGE which are in the Stator Data Layer.
Assign a DataSource Template
1. Select all of the CODE/CURRENCY/EXCHANGE which you wish to assign a DataSource template to. Hint: Use the SHIFT or CONTROL keys to highlight multiple CODE/CURRENCY/EXCHANGE.
The picture above shows the selection of multiple CODE/CURRENCY/EXCHANGE.
2. Click on the "Edit/Add DataSource"
3. Select the DataSource Template you wish to assign to all of the CODE/CURRENCY/EXCHANGE.
4. Click on the "Save" button to save the assignment.
5. All of the selected CODE/CURRENCY/EXCHANGE will now be assigned to the Stator Default DataSource Template.
