Rename a Template

You may rename your template at any time. However, you cannot choose a name from an already existing template.

Copy a Template

You may also copy templates. After selecting a source project (this can also be the same project) you can select one or more templates to copy. If you select just one template to copy you may also enter a new name for the template. Otherwise, the template name is simply copied without any change.

If you have already a template with the same name you will be asked to overwrite the existing template(s). To prevent your templates from being overwritten, rename or copy your templates first.

Set a Default Template

You can set one template as the default template for the project. The default template will be selected first when printing your issues. You can always change the template on the preview page.

Delete a Template

You may also delete a template.

There is no trash so be careful. A deleted template cannot be recovered.
