Create a Project Template from an Existing Project

This article helps you understand how to save the structure of an existing project as a project template.

Pre-requisites:

  • Privilege for saving a project as a project template, assigned to you by the Asite System Administrator.

Below are the steps to follow while saving the structure of an existing project as a project template:

  1. Navigate to the 'Projects' tab. In the thumb view, mouse over the project thumbnail and click the icon.

  2. A layered popup appears, showing related options. Click 'Save Workspace As Template'.

    Alternately, right-click on the project record in the list view and select 'Save Workspace As Template'.

  3. The 'Create Template' pop-up appears.

    Below is a description of the available fields:

    1. Project Name - Name the new project template you are cloning from the selected project.

    2. ​Client Name - Select the client organisation (owner of the project template) from a list of organisations registered with Asite.
      The 'Client Name' chosen when creating a project template cannot be changed later, even when cloning a project from that template.

    3. ​Application Installed - Inherited from the selected project; this field cannot be edited.

    4. ​Select Viewer - Inherited from the selected project, this field cannot be edited.

    5. ​Geography - To select the appropriate geography from the dropdown list. The 'Geography' chosen when creating a project template cannot be changed later. However, it can be changed while creating a cloned project out of that template.

    6. ​Status - By default, it is open and cannot be changed until after creation.

    7. ​Subscription - Inherited from the selected project; this field cannot be edited.

    8. ​BIM - To enable BIM (Building Information Model) on the project template under creation.

  4. Once done, click 'Save' to complete cloning the project from the selected project template.
