GridTemplates are then scanned into the templates database, to be included into scripts whose script lines and properties give content (begin/end dates, languages, holidays, exceptions, ...) to the GridTemplates used.
For more details, see: designing GridTemplates, importing GridTemplates as Templates, and multilingual lexicons.
