The Continuum Template is a simple way of designing a continuum that can be imported into the Continuum Creator. Each row in the import corresponds to a marker to be placed against an aspect/cluster intersection. The template contains the following columns which should be filled out:

• continuum: The name of the continuum to create
• aspect_shortname: A short version of the name or a code to use for the aspect
• aspect_fullname: The full name of the aspect
• cluster_shortname: A short version of the name or a code to use for the aspect
• cluster_fullname: The full name of the aspect
• marker: The marker to place at this aspect/cluster intersection
• marker_explanation: An optional explanation describing the marker

If a value is missing from any cell in the import other than marker columns then the previous found value for that column will be used.

When a template is ready to import, open a category in the continuum creator and click on the Import button to import the continuums into that category.
