Templates illustrate common workflows with structured workspace content that can be used and re-used dynamically. You can build your own template from a canvas. Templates are made up of the following assets:
- Shapes
- Notecards
- Text boxes
- Documents
- Images
- Attached assets
- Smart Grids
- Videos
Note: You can also take advantage of the ready-made templates provided by Bluescape. For more information, see Using Workspace Templates.
To create a new template:
-
