Templates created with Blueprints

Workfront users can use Blueprints to help build project templates. This feature, located in the Main Menu, allows you to access pre-built, ready-to-use templates that are targeted to a department and specific maturity level. These templates give users a head start to repeatable project creation and help maintain consistency across projects similar in scope.

Any licensed user can browse the list of blueprints available in Workfront. You cannot apply a blueprint directly when creating a new project (such as converting a task or request into a project). A key difference between a blueprint and a project template is that a blueprint is used to make a template, whereas a template is used to create a project. The blueprint needs to be installed by a system administrator for the corresponding template to be created.

If you find a blueprint that looks interesting, you can click on Details to learn more about it.

The Details screen explains more about the blueprint, including the installation history if the blueprint has been installed.

If the blueprint was installed, you can click on See details to get links to the template that was created and any other objects that were created to support the template.

If the blueprint has not yet been installed you can request it from your system administrator.
