Enable template

In this guide we’ll discuss how you can turn your app which you created from the scratch or from a template into an app template.

App template

An app made available to an organization as an model, example, guide or pattern to follow.

When you make an app available as a template, you are letting other people in your organization use it to make their own apps, based on the design, patchwork and data in the original app.

Making an app a template is a property of the app itself. If you delete the app, the template will also disappear. The apps created from the template will remain, though.

Open Appspotr CMS and your Organization Find your app that you want to make into a template and click on the Make template button
