The process to browse EDI templates is less than ideal, you need to create (but don't save!) an Import or Export, then click through the various templates to view the source. Sometimes you want to search for certain segments or elements in a template to find a close match to what you need.

I opened a support ticket (#183482) 13 days ago asking if the templates could be supplied in JSON format as files or if there is a place to browse them easily. Like I said, it's been almost 2 weeks and support is "still investigating" so I'm asking here.

Does anyone know of a way to easily browse the templates in the IIO UI or is there a downloadable archive of all the template JSON files?

Steve - As of today we don't support such a functionality for the user to download such information from the UI. But we do have something similar [documented](https://docs.celigo.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040743071-Configure-EDI-and-fixed-width-files), although might not completely serve your case.

We have a similar feature in our backlog to help the IO user build these file definitions in a simple way, but haven't scoped it in yet.

On a parallel note, you should be able to procure the file definitions using the file definition [API endpoints](https://docs.celigo.com/hc/en-us/articles/7708221137307-File-definitions-API-endpoints).

Also, can you share the requirement at a granular level, if there is something that we could do for you?

@sreeneshc - I appreciate your replies, thank you. I think the file endpoint API will work fine for my needs, I hadn't seen that article before so I'm glad to see what's possible there.

As for my existing requirements, is it possible for you to email me directly so we can discuss? I'd like to keep this post generic so it's valuable to others.
