Of course,
I start with the "Create" button, and select "Feature Layer"
Then I select "From Existing Layer", search for my template dataset and select that layer to use.
I select this layer, leave all the layers included and check the "Capture GPS receiver information" button.
I set the extent and title, tags and what not for the layer and click "Done"
Here is a screenshot of the layer that was created in this workflow, it does not have the "PhotoLocation" layer that I have checked in the creation workflow:
Let me know if there is any other info I can provide that would be of help.
Thank you!
