Templates are simply special projects that have been designated for re-use. You can either create a template project from scratch, or use an existing production project as a template for future work.
Create a Template Project
To create a template project from scratch, start a new project.
You can locate the template anywhere. We recommend using your organisation's office location, or the city hall of your municipality.
Add template content
add layers and layer groups
update all of the project usages. Delete usages you do not need.
Configure your property definitions
Add flows or blocks
add analytics categories, measures, and tabs
configure your project defaults
Select your base map style
Make the Project into a Template
Once your project is configured, your can turn it into a template.
Open project settings (Cog icon on the left)
Click "Use as Template"
Select where the template should be designated
For me: only you will have access to the template
for my teams: select a team. all members of that team will have access
For this workspace: everyone in your organisation's workspace will have access
Share the Template
The last step of making a template available to others is to share the template project with them.
We recommend sharing the template with "view" access to prevent accidental editing.
