      - pmm: other_chart
  TV Shows:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: other_chart

## Template Variable Default Values

Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to make your own local copy.

### Example Template Variable Amendments

The below is an example config.yml extract with some Template Variables added in to change how the file works.

    That's a tooltip, you can press them to get more information.

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    metadata_path:
      - pmm: other_chart
        template_variables:
          use_anidb: false #(1)!

          visible_home_commonsense: true #(3)!
          visible_shared_commonsense: true #(4)!
```
1.  Do not create the "AniDB Popular" collection
2.  Pin the "Common Sense Selection" collection to the Recommended tab of the library
3.  Pin the "Common Sense Selection" collection to the home screen of the server owner
4.  Pin the "Common Sense Selection" collection to the home screen of other users of the server
