Click “SAVE TEMPLATE”

Step 4:

Select "Summary Template". Click NEXT

Step 5:

Select "Project". Click NEXT

Step 6:

Do a check to make sure all fields are filled out by scrolling to the bottom. Not seeing a table that you have utilized? Or have questions? Reach out to your CSM! Once all tables are confirmed, click NEXT.

Step 7:

Fill out all required fields:

  1. Title: This should be the same title as your View.

  2. Description: This helps give more context to this template.

Once the PREVIEW has been tested, click SAVE AS NEW. This will close the "Save as a template" window and will prompt you to click SAVE in the upper right corner.

Step 10:
