	<GeneralSection><SectionTitle>Procedure Introduction (User Data template)</SectionTitle>
		<Paragraph class="Default">This section uses the User Data template as an example. The procedure is representative for most templates in ERP LN ’s Authorization Management System (AMS). You can convert changes to the template to the run-time data dictionary. On the <GUIRef href="" role="menu">Specific</GUIRef> menu in these sessions, click <GUIRef href="" role="manual">Convert to Runtime DD</GUIRef> to start the <Link href="/baanerp/tt/ams/ttams2200m000" role="session">Convert Changes to Runtime DD (ttams2200m000)</Link> session. For a detailed description of this session, refer to the session's online help.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph class="Default">As soon as the template data has changed, conversion indicators are automatically set for all individual ERP LN users who are linked to the templates. The user data is only converted to ERP LN ’s run-time data dictionary if the data in the templates has changed. The conversion is, therefore, only performed when necessary.</Paragraph>
		<Paragraph class="Default">This section describes only the most important steps in the user data template procedure. For detailed instructions on how to enter data in the described sessions, refer to the online help of the sessions.</Paragraph>
