URIC         - URI - Upper Respiratory Infection (NG)

It may be helpful to reduce the complexity of a downloaded Template item. After inserting the NG Template/template, Press Control + F9 to perform a Remove Unused Items command. This will immediately simplify the Template/template encounter format, revealing the basic organization/framework suggested for the documentation process. New Generation Templates that display many "+" in the generation, contain more SMARText Items.
