You don’t have to create a project from scratch each time. For projects having a similar structure, consider using templates. Just make a template live or use it while creating a project to save some time.

Add a template

  1. Select Projects from the navigation bar.
  2. Click on the Add button at the top-left of the page.
  3. Select Template from the drop-down list.

  4. Add the following details in the new window:
    • Add the Title and Description of the template.
    • Set a Color code.
    • Add Assignees to the template.
    • Specify the Start date and End date of the template. 
    • Select a Project manager.add template
  5. Click Add.

Using templates

Select a template while adding the project

  1. Click on the Quick add icon on the navigation bar or click on Add option from the project section.
  2. Select Project from the drop-down list.
  3. Check off the Use template option to select a template.
  4. Add the following details in the new window:
    • Select a Template from the drop-down list.
    • Add the Title and Description of the project.
    • Select a Start date and End date or choose a parameter to adjust dates.
    • Add Assignees to the project.
    • Select a Project manager from the list of people assigned to the project.
    • Select a Category for the project.
    • Define a Project status.
    • Set a Color code.
    • Select the items you want to copy from the template to the project.
  5.  Click Add.

Note: While creating a project from the template, dates can be adjusted as per the following parameters:

  • Earliest date in the project/template
  • Keep the date as it is

For example: Select Earliest date in the project/template from the drop-down list and set the due date as per your need. Now, if the current earliest due date is December 1 and you move it to a new date, let’s say, December 3, 2 days will be added to all the dates.

Convert an existing template to a project

  1. Select Projects from the navigation bar.
  2.  Go to Templates where you will be able to view all the templates that you have created in your account.
  3. Right-click on the desired template and select Edit.
  4. Uncheck the option Is template in the next window to change the template into a live project.
  5. Click Update.
