The all caps command version must be run after changing the normal case command for it to change the default. The university example here also has a link embedded.
More detail can be found in the class docs file. Found in `doc\textgreater latex\textgreater ecsdocs` of the texmf directory discussed in Section~\ref{start}.
The other common commands already exist in the top level template file.
You probably have downloaded the templates as a zip file.
This zip file should be \emph{extracted to the texmf} folder that will either need to be created in your user directory or will be near your installation directory.
For TeXLive this defaults to \verb|<userdirectory>\texlive| on Windows. It can be found by running the command \verb|kpsewhich -var-value=TEXMFHOME|. For MiKTeX see \url{https://miktex.org/kb/texmf-roots}.
The structure of this folder should look like this.
\begin[caption=Folder Structure of the texmf folder.]{lstlisting}\label{folder_struct}
+-texmf
+-bibtex
| +-bib
| | +-ecsdocs
| +-bst
| +-ecsdocs
+-doc

+-templates

On some \LaTeX{} systems, the directory look-up tables will need to be refreshed after making additions or deletions to the system files.
For TeXlive systems this is accomplished via executing \verb|texhash| as root.
MikTeX users can run \verb|initexmf -u| to accomplish the same thing.
The \verb|templates/latex/ecsdocs| folder contains the files to get you started.
The base file is \verb|Thesis.tex| for a thesis and \verb|Progress.tex| for a progress report.
The base files have dependancies for the sections and the figures.
These files are: \verb|Definitions.tex|, \verb|Introduction.tex|, \verb|Conclusion.tex|, \verb|AppendixA.tex|, \verb|figure.eps|, \verb|ECS.bib|. To start using the templates, copy the base file and the dependancies into your working directory.
These files are designed as a starting point for the structure of your thesis.
If you are familiar with \LaTeX{}, go and explore the template and use it. Maybe start with putting your info in the section \emph{THESIS/DOC INFORMATION} block of the \verb|Thesis.tex| or \verb|Progress.tex| file. You can then modify the rest of this file to your unique specifications based on your degree/university. If you are new to \LaTeX{} then read about the file structure below.
\section{File Structure}
The \verb|Thesis.tex| file is composed of two main parts.
Firstly, \verb|frontmatter| is all the information that goes before your and \verb|mainmatter|.
It is advisable to write each chapter (an possibly section) in a separate file to keep each file of a manageable size.
They are included into the main file with an \verb|\include{Filename}| statement.
Also keep Appendix and Listings files separate if possible.

\subsection{Add a Glossary or Index}
\emph{Both Indexes and Glossaries involve an extra build step so you will need to read the manual before inserting these.} They should be put after a \verb|\cleartoeven| as is convention for indexes to start on the left.
Some people may want to have an index or prefer Glossary instead of a list of symbols.
The \href{http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/glossaries}{\texttt{glossaries}} package can be used.
Inserting the \verb|\printglossaries| command will put the glossary where you want it.
The list of symbols command can be removed in this case.
Inserting the \verb|\printindex| command will put the glossary where you want it.
The recomended index package is \href{https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Indexing}{\texttt{makeidx}}.
