    • Documentation Location - URL or filename of any supporting documentation.
    • Status - project life cycle status for informational purposes.
    • Business Version - version information about the Package (this is user defined versioning, unrelated to any source control system).

Modify the details or leave all the default names and click Next.

  1. The Select Template dialog is displayed next and prompts you to select a package template. Select MDMPackageTemplate under Package Templates and click Finish.
