# Documentation: DTS.Common.Interface.GroupTemplate

## 1. Purpose

This module defines the contract interfaces for the Group Template subsystem within the DTS application. It establishes the abstraction layer between views and view models following an MVVM (Model-View-ViewModel) architecture, enabling the management, listing, import/export, and channel configuration of group templates. The interfaces support both standalone templates and embedded templates within test setups, with capabilities for sorting, filtering, and pagination.

### Views (Marker Interfaces)

| Interface | Namespace | Base | Description |
|-----------|-----------|------|-------------|
| `IGroupTemplateListView` | `DTS.Common.Interface.GroupTemplate` | `IBaseView` | Marker interface for the group template list view. |
| `IGroupTemplateExportView` | `DTS.Common.Interface.GroupTemplate` | `IBaseView` | Marker interface for the export view. |
| `IGroupTemplateImportView` | `DTS.Common.Interface.GroupTemplate` | `IBaseView` | Marker interface for the import view. |
| `ITemplateChannelListView` | `DTS.Common.Interface.GroupTemplate` | `IBaseView` | Marker interface for the template channel list view. |
| `IGroupTemplateInfoControlView` | `DataPro.Common.Interface` | `IBaseView` | Marker interface for the group template info control view. |

### IGroupTemplate

**Namespace:** `DTS.Common.Interface.GroupTemplate`

```csharp
public interface IGroupTemplate
{
    bool Disabled { get; set; }
    string Name { get; set; }
    string Description { get; set; }

{
    IGroupTemplateImportView ImportView { get; set; }
    IGroupTemplateExportView ExportView { get; set; }
    void Unset();
}
```

Primary view model interface for group template management, holding references to import/export views.

### IGroupTemplateInfoControlViewModel

**Namespace:** `DataPro.Common.Interface`

```csharp
public interface IGroupTemplateInfoControlViewModel : IBaseViewModel
{
    IGroupTemplateInfoView View { get; }
    IGroupTemplateModel SelectedGroupTemplate { get; set; }
