Spotlight templates and connection profiles control the appearance and behavior in Spotlight of monitored Spotlight connections.
New Spotlight connections base their settings on templates.
Spotlight uses connection profiles to store property data for individual Spotlight applications and connections.
To migrate connections
Migrate your Spotlight connection files to a network where other Spotlight users can share them. By migrating profiles to a shared location, you can share connection information between multiple users. User-specific information (including user names and passwords) is still stored on a per-user basis. Users are identified by the Windows accounts under which they log in.
Note:
To use shared (migrated) connections
First ensure the other user has migrated Spotlight connection files for you to use.

Changes that are made to a template propagate to all connections that use that template, unless individual changes have already been made to those connections.
The information contained in the template includes:
