Templates: Unlocking Efficiency
Templates in Motion help you save time by creating reusable setups for projects and tasks. Whether it's a standard project layout or specific task arrangements, templates make it simple to duplicate them. There are two methods for creating templates: either from an existing task/project or starting from scratch.
Why Use Templates?
Example 1: Repetitive Client Task
Let's say you have a task that needs to be performed each time a client is added to your portfolio. You can create a task template with all the necessary steps, instructions, and assignees. Whenever a new client is added, simply use this template to create a task with pre-filled details.
Example 2: Marketing Campaign Project
Imagine you frequently run marketing campaigns for different clients. Instead of starting from scratch each time, create a project template with predefined tasks, milestones, and deadlines. When a new marketing campaign starts, use the template to quickly set up the project with all the necessary components.
Templates are saved under a specific workspace. If you create a template in Workspace A, you won't be able to see it in Workspace B.
Template From an Existing Task
To create a template from a task, you can:
Click on "Projects" in the top navigation bar.
Select a workspace.
Open the task you want to turn into a template and click on the 3 dots icon.
Select “Save as template”.
Enter the template name.
Click on “Create a template” to save it.
