How to Create A Template Set

rlakin52911

I've created several project management files (sheets, reports, dashboards). How can I save these as a template set (package) for others in my organization to use/download?

 

Or is it save as a workspace??

Mick Jordan

Hi save as a workspace is the quickest option and leave it available for others to grab the templates, reports etc they need.

If you have a lot of projects kicking off regularly then take a look at Control center which can help mechanise the whole process and links sheets into overarching reports automatically.   If you need any further info on that route let me know,

I have talked with Smartsheet about this as it would be EXTREMELY beneficial to my work. The only option is to purchase the Control Center add-on. I have my manager looking into it for me.

Hi,

If you save as new from a Workspace or a folder you can keep it connected. I use this with my clients all the time. Not as automatic as with Control Center though.

I hope this helps you!

Hi Paul that sounds good.  If you would like any help configuring Control Center once purchased we as a Smartsheet Channel partner can provide this service for you at a significantly discounted rate.  

Hope that is of interest,

 

cheers

Andrée is correct.  The best way to accomplish this is by using Workspaces.

1. Have a base Workspace that is your blank template. 
2. When someone wants a copy of it, Right mouse click the Workspace and select 'Save as new'. *see pic*
3. The default selection maintains the relationship between Sheets, Reports & Dashboards.

Good Luck!  (:

You can also do the same with a folder. If you have only one workspace but a couple of project folder containing the same sheet... I would prepare on folder as template.

Hey Andrée

Do I understand you correctly? Do you develop "template sets" for clients and provide it to them in a folder and/or workspace format?

Kind regards,

Jana
