Screen templating#

Screens can be saved as templates on the server. Other users can then use that template to reproduce the same screen.

It is a copy of the screen that is saved as a template. Any changes made to the screen after the template is created will not be reflected in the template on the server.

Templates are stored in a project. Only members with access to the project can use the templates in the project.

Creating templates#

Open the screen menu, select the select-icon button of the screen to be shared, and then click the [Templatize] button.

* Multiple screens can be selected.

About template deletion

  • You can delete templates created by other users, if the project is accessible to you.

  • Templates that have been deleted cannot be restored.

  • To use the same template as the deleted one, you need to recreate it.

  • The default templates (which have no trash_can-icon icon) cannot be deleted.
