single data type, multiple branches

Is there a way to use a single data type (ie DCT and PT) across multiple branches? The existence of <locations> and <branch> tags in templating.cfg suggests this is supported, but in my experimenting thus far it appears the folders and files under templatedata for a given type have to be copied into each branch. Is there a way to virtualize the folders so that I don't have so much duplicated code?

For PT's you could use the iw_include directive - see http://servername/iw/help/tst/pt/TeamSite__PT__iw_include.html for more details.

For DCT's you could use an inline, or if you're using 5.5.2 you could potentially share a fair amount of code through the use of FormAPI - see http://servername/iw/help/tst/formapi for more details

We use this, we use inline calls to reference the DCR which is codded into an .ipl filr in <iw-home>/httpd/iw-bin. Then just an iw_include to get the tpl from a main branch. Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks,
