Allows the developer to specify the scheme used for generating new version names from
prior releases. Templates may be composed of any literal text and any of the tokens listed
in the Version Components list. If the current date is to be part of the template, the
date format may also be specified.

These options may also be configured via the "VA
Assist | Versions" options
page. The user's initials and the default initial
version name may also be set here. The administrator
may also specify that a global version name template should be used. When a global version
name template is in effect, individual users will not be able to specify their own version
name template.
If you have a version template set up and use the VA Java Tools API to
version a project, package or type, the version template will be used
anytime default versioning is used (i.e., you allow the system to select a
version name for you). If you supply your own, hard-coded version label to
the Tools API, it will be used instead (as is normally the case with the
Tools API)..
