  2. Template Development Our philosophy, a system is a tool and should work for the company. Nextgen recommends tracking all changes via an Excel Spreadsheet. • This works if you keep your changes to less than 100. That’s total not per template. KBM upgrades (patches or version changes) require all changes to be reviewed and re-applied if still valid per template. • This is referred to as a gap analysis.

  3. Template Development – managing for a KBM upgrade. • Have a well defined change management process. • Triggers and SQL Stored Procedures support comments. USE THEM. • Nextgen does have a free tool that will compare templates and list the differences. • Nextgen has created a documented standard for template look and feel.
