## When not to use ## When not to use
The Pattern should not be used for problems which differ too much. For example, if you have two data exports in your app, one is exporting header and lines and the second one only export header. In this case I would suggest to not use the pattern or to make two templates out of it. The Pattern should not be used for problems which differ too much.
