Creating a card from a template

Templates give you a pre-configured field structure for common use cases. You can use a built-in system template or one created by your workspace admin.

Use a template

  1. From the home screen, click + → From template.
  2. Browse the available templates. Each shows a name, description, and the fields it includes.
  3. Click a template to preview its field structure.
  4. Click Use template.
  5. Give your card a name (the template name is pre-filled — you can change it).
  6. Review and adjust any fields before creating.
  7. Click Create card.

The card opens in grid view, ready to accept data.

Available system templates

Stackify includes built-in templates for common public-sector and business datasets:

Template Use for
Dog parks Locations, facilities, and amenities of dog parks

Events Event calendar with dates, venue, and capacity

Workspace templates

Your workspace admin can create custom templates tailored to your organisation. These appear alongside the system templates in the template picker.

Save a card as a template

Workspace admins can save any existing card's field structure as a reusable template:

  1. Open the card.
  2. Go to Settings → Save as template.
  3. Give the template a name and description.
  4. Click Save.

The template is now available to everyone in the workspace when creating a new card.
