===Creating the Template Page===
# Start by creating a JSP/Html [[Page]] in the platform.
#: Turn off the ''Include Headers'' option for that page.
#: (Those headers contain platform-specific Javascript that interfere with template processing.)
# Edit the page either in the platform, or using the [[Eclipse Plug-In]].
# Add boilerplate text and fixed graphics
# Use JSP code and the platform APIs to control page content, as explained below.

===Accessing Record Information===
{{:Get Object and Record ID from the Request Object}}
===Processing Related Records===
Use the Java [[searchRecords]] API on the [[Related Object]], selecting all records whose lookup-field value matches the current record ID.

For example, when the ClaimItems object has a lookup to Claims. When processing a Claim with record ID 1234, search for ClaimItems records who have claim lookup field with that value.
