In setting up templates in the Critical Systems section for cloning, is it
possible to create a template for ALL tests.
In other words, can I fill in the "Host" field as "Production hosts", and
fill in the "Test" field as "*", so that I can set
up a blanket template for all production hosts, for all tests?  Or do I have
no choice but to create individual templates
for all the tests?

I think I may have just answered my own question [again], though if anyone
knows otherwise, let me know.

If you use "*" as the "Test" field, it doesn't match any test (since there
are no tests called, literally, "*").  If you leave the "Test" field blank,
no template entry is created in the hobbit-nkview.cfg file.  I can't think
of anything else to try, for a wildcard "Test" value, so it would appear the
answer to my question is "No".
