# Templates

Templates are preconfigured dashboards designed to display relevant information about an entity: device, asset, subscriber, subscription, and tickets.

## Creating a Template

In the dashboard actions menu, select the "Save as template" option.

You'll be presented with a wizard to configure your template:

- **Dashboard:** Choose the dashboard for the template.
- **Workspace:** Choose the workspace or workspaces where the template will be saved.
- **Name:** Choose the name for the template.
- **Priority:** Choose the priority for displaying different templates if you configure more than one for the same conditions.

### Conditions

- **Allowed resource type:** Choose the type of resource it will open.
- **Specific type:** Choose the specific type or specific types of resource.
- **Datastreams:** (optional) Choose datastreams witch preferred values.

## Template Management

You can manage templates within a workspace from the Workspaces wizard:

Also you can manage it in the Templates configuration section:

You can delete and modify the templates configured for a workspace.

## Open Templates

From most widgets displaying information about an entity, you can access these templates to view the information of that device on a dashboard referred to as a "temporary" dashboard.

{{< staticImage "ux/Dashboard/Templates/OpenDeviceInformation.png" "Template Menu" >}}

Once you click on the link, you'll be shown the "temporary/template" dashboard with the information from the entity you opened it from. There, you can choose which template you want to use to view the information for that entity:

These dashboards can't be managed, and any changes to filters won't be saved. They can only be cloned within a workspace. A cloned dashboard will then function like any other dashboard.
