The search options default to logical only, however template transformation must also take into account the lexical template definitions, so select either logical and lexical or logical not lexical in the search options. (Note that if logical is not changed, the template transformation feature will not become available when search results are obtained).

| Search for the desired source template by starting to type its name. Type-ahead options will appear after three characters are entered. Choose the desired source template; searching will proceed as soon as a template is selected. |  Image Added

Enter a target template name in the Select Transformation Target field. Type-ahead search results will show name matches after three characters are entered. Pick a template from the available list.

| The Transforming Concepts notification will occupy the pop-up window. Wait for the transformation to complete. On completion, the pop-up dialogue will close automatically, and view context will change to the Batch Processing tab, showing the selected transformed concept(s), in the same manner as for batch creation from a template. |  Image Added
|
Use the Edit Full Concept button on the batch entry row to present a "before/after" side-by-side view of the concept transformation. At this point the transformation is only a preview - no changes have been saved. If changes are not what was expected/required, then the previewed concept can be removed from the batch listing using the x button at the start of its row entry in the batch list. |  Image Added
|
After previewing (and if necessary removing unwanted concept transformations from the batch), press Save All in the upper right corner of the batch view. The Saving Batch pop-up notification will be presented - please wait while the transformation batch is saved, and do not navigate away or refresh the page (as it instructs). Alternatively, should the entire transformation batch need to be abandoned, press the Discard All button in the batch view. This will cancel the batch transformation and no changes will be made to the concepts. |  Image Added

| At this point the template transformations are complete, and the selected concepts are changed in the task. The view context remains on the Batch Processing tab - from here proceed as needed to other AP features (for instance to task review for approval of the concept transformations - the transformed concepts will appear in the feedback tab To Review list). |  Image Added
