Project templates allow you to save the settings of a past or present project and apply it to another. Project templates can be created with a few clicks so when you can create a new project you simply select an existing project template.

When you create a project template, the following settings are saved within the template:

  • Default due date for new issues
  • Default issue color attribute property
  • Issue mandatory attributes
  • All the issue attributes (Zones, Phases, Status, Types, Labels & Priorities)
  • File sets
  • Viewer categories appearance overrides

The following items will NOT be saved with the project template:

  • Issues
  • Assigned user and their roles
  • 3D Models & Sheets
  • Saved views
  • Quick Filters templates
  • Reports templates

There are two actions required to create a template based on a project. First create the template from the project settings menu. Second is to create the project using a template.
