template

Templates describe features that can be created in a layer. They are generally used with feature collections and editable web-based CSV layers. Templates are not used with ArcGIS feature services as these already have templates defined in the service. They are also defined as properties of the layer definition when there are no defined types. Otherwise, templates are defined as properties of the types.
