Note

File Suffix and Directory Location

A Wave template bundle is a folder that contains definition files for a template. Unlike other metadata components, a WaveTemplateBundle component isn’t represented by a single component file, but instead by a collection of JSON and CSV definition files. Each definition file represents a resource in a template, such as lenses, dashboards, dataflows, and comma-separated values. For example, this directory structure shows the hierarchy of the folders and files for one Wave Template definition, template1.

1waveTemplates
2    template1
3        template-info.json 
4        variables.json 
5        ui.json 
6        extFiles
7            PostalCodes.csv

Wave template bundles must be under a top-level folder that’s named waveTemplates. Each bundle must have its own subfolder under the waveTemplates folder and be named with the template's fully qualified API name. The bundle folder must contain a template-info.json file to specify the metadata about the template and the references to other definition files. An entire bundle doesn’t have a suffix and definition files can have one of the following suffixes.

Suffix	Component Type
.json	JavaScript Object Notation
.csv	Comma-Separated Values

Version

WaveTemplateBundle components are available in API version 35.0 and later.
