Project creation templates
At the team level, you can create multiple templates that include predefined project creation parameters. This is useful if your team creates many projects that use the same settings when they are created. Only team admins can access the template settings for their team.
Template settings
To find existing templates or add new templates:
- Open the relevant team metadata.
- Click on the Settings tab.
- Navigate to the Default Project Settings subtab.
Here, you can review or update existing templates by clicking through the Templates dropdown. To create a new template, click + Add New.
