There are a number of pre-prepared templates that you can choose from whenever you create a new board in your account. Whether you're looking for a "solution", a board created especially for your industry, or simply a ready-made board to make your life a little easier, we've got you covered! Just follow the steps below to access them 😊

Choose a template

To add a new board from one of our templates, click on the "Add" button at the very top of the workspace you are working in. Click "New from template" and then you can either select a popular template from the suggestions in the drop-down menu or click "See More Templates" to visit the Template Center!

Now you can browse through all of the templates in the Template Center! The left pane of the center is a menu of all the different categories or industries we split our templates into. There's also a "Recommended for you" section with templates we think might be useful to you based on your account!

When you've selected a template, you can hover over it and click "Use" to add it right away, or you can check it out and learn more before adding it to your account by clicking "Preview". 

The preview will give show you how many other teams are using this template, give you a quick description of the workflow it was intended for, and let you know which integrations it's compatible with! To the right of some of our more complex templates, you'll see some images and videos highlighting some of the views, automations, and columns featured in this template, and often has a quick video to help you learn how to navigate the template! When you're ready, click "Use Template" at the top right corner to add it to your account!

Once you've added a template, you are ready to start customizing! You can easily edit the name of your items, groups and columns according to your needs and add anything else you'd like! 

Add a solution

Solutions are groups of templates that work together to create the perfect pre-prepared workflow! They usually contain two or three connected boards complete with automations, views, and more! You can find solutions integrated amongst all of the other templates in the Template Center! The only difference is that when added, they appear all together neatly in a folder in your workspace.

They'll almost always come with lots of screenshots, descriptions, and videos explaining how to make the most of your solution, so be sure to look through the Template Center preview to learn all about it!

Create your own board template 

Note:  This feature is available for the Standard plan and above. 

You can now transform your favorite boards into templates for your account in just a few clicks! When viewing your board, click the -dot-menu at the top right corner of your screen, select "More actions" and then "Save as a template". 

Once done, you will see a wand to the left of your board's name indicating that your board is a template. ⭐️

Note:   In order to create your own template, you'll need to make sure your board' s permissions are set to "edit everything" and that your board is a Main Board (and not another type of board view). 

If you are editing the board, deleting it, or archiving it, keep in mind that this will affect the template as well. Only board owners will be able to change the template. The other users can utilize it but won't be able to change its structure or content.  

Custom templates, automations and integrations 

If the board you set up as a custom template includes automations, those automations that are turned on will carry over to any new board created from that template. You can check whether an automation is turned on in the board's automation center:

Select the template of your choice by clicking "Use" and you are ready to go!

Tip: If you've recently created a new custom template and don't yet see it in your Template Center, try refreshing the page! 

When you view an account template's preview, you'll see details such as the template's creator, the workspace the template was created on, and the date it was last updated. 

注： If a template belongs to a closed workspace, it will only visible to workspace members. However, all of the templates you have access to can be used in any workspace, regardless of the workspace they were created in originally! 

テンプレートリストからボードを削除する

To remove a board from your template list, click on the hamburger menu (the three little bars) located on the right of your board. From there, select more actions, and then click on "remove from templates."

Create a column template

Note:  This feature is available for the Enterprise plan

You can add specific columns of your board as template. Let's say we are managing an event company. We are using a status column with many different labels for each type of event: 

To save a column as a template, click on the arrow located on the right of the column's title and select "save column as a template". 

Next, name your column and add a description: 

Once done, save the column as a template. You will then be able to find your column in the column center and add it to any of your boards!

This is so useful if you have a column with many different labels or dropdown choices!

Templates are not only for your browser or desktop app - now you can use board templates right from your mobile app!

First, click the blue '+' icon at the bottom right corner of your screen as you would to create a new board:
