Can i change the network type for a template?

[seanwickesser]

I have a template containing 30 or so networks that I need to add more to.

Some of these that are "combined" networks and not "appliance" networks I am unable to see in the list while binding.

While discussing this with my coworkers we noticed that this is the only template we have that has a network type of appliance instead of combined. I would like to try changing this template to a combined network type, but I can not find any documentation as to how to do it.

Do I have to create a new template all together and migrate both the existing bound network and the new networks to it?

Is there someway of changing the templates network type that I am just not seeing?

All help is greatly appreciated.

It should be just like any network. 

Click on it. Split , remove the non desired parts. Re-combine. Enjoy.

Edit : Not sure if there is any impact at all. You might want to test it before.

Sorry I think I was a little confusing, I am trying to change an appliance template to a combined template.

I see the split option greyed out when selecting it, but I think what you are talking about would work going the other way.

Well , create a template of with the desired parts and combine it with your appliance template. It is the same process 

Create a combined template. Split it , remove the appliance part and combine with your 'old' appliance template. voila.

I will give that a shot, thanks!

Yes, you can.

When ready to combine networks, navigate to Organization > Overview and in the right-hand map legend, press the arrow button to expand. Check the boxes next to the networks you would like to combine into one and click the combine button:

Here is the doc about templates.

The template its self is what i am trying to combine, not the networks.
I can't select it in the overview menu.

I am reading the documentation you linked though thank you.

Simply access the template and bind to an additional network.

It sounds like the above posters got your question covered. But in case you need some visual aids or a walkthrough video I created this deck sometime ago https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1fFjA-HCNB7KE03bUgCGINoNqVMVSumlF4Tjo-bUH9aE/edit?usp=sharing
