# Template Checks

Source: https://userguide.qualytics.io/data-quality-checks/templates/deep-dive/template-view/checks/

The **Checks** tab of a template's page lists every check created from the template, across all the datastores that hold one. It is the place to see where a template is applied and how its checks are doing.

## Getting to the Checks Tab

- Open the template's page from the **Library**, then click the **Checks** tab.
- On the template's **Overview**, click  on the **Checks** card when the template has at least one check. See [Template Overview](https://userguide.qualytics.io/data-quality-checks/templates/deep-dive/template-view/overview/).

## What the Tab Shows

The tab is a regular check list, scoped to the template. It opens on the **Active** tab, on its **Important** subtab, so the checks that matter most come first:

- The **All**, **Active**, **Draft**, and **Archived** tabs, with the **Important**, **Owned**, **Favorite**, and **All** subtabs on Active and Draft, and **Discarded**, **Invalid**, and **All** on Archived.
- Each check's status label, rule type, table or file, fields, and the source details of computed tables and fields.
- The search, filters, and sort of other check lists.

See [Check Views](https://userguide.qualytics.io/data-quality-checks/checks/deep-dive/check-details/check-views/#check-lists) for how the tabs, labels, and check info work.

## What You Can Do

- **Open a check.** Clicking a check opens it in the check form, in a dialog over the list, so you can review or change it without leaving the template. On a check linked to a **Locked** template, only its target can change.
- **Review drafts.** Checks created with **Multiple Checks** arrive under **Draft**. Review them here, then activate them. See [Activate Draft Checks](https://userguide.qualytics.io/data-quality-checks/checks/how-tos/status/activate-draft-check/).
- **Act on checks.** The row menu and the selection bar offer the same actions as other check lists, such as activating, moving to draft, and archiving.
