You have been working on an undercover investigation involving the importation of
drugs involving the cruiser MOONSHADOW. Initially, this was a one-off operation
but it has now become apparent that MOONSHADOW and two of the suspects,
Sam STEELE and Paul SHARP are also targets in other undercover investigations.
Instead of defining entity types, link types and properties each time you create a
new chart, you will create a template containing all of the types and properties that
you will use when you add the findings of these undercover investigations to a
chart.
