Cross-project templates


In addition to the project templates, it is possible to create cross-project templates for tasks and test tasks.
These templates are available to all of a company's collaborators across all projects.

Cross-project templates are only available for companies with a team package.

The template tasks for companies can be called up and edited via the Use template button.



Using and editing the company templates works in the same way as with the project templates.
The following sections describe how to create and edit templates for tasks and test tasks:

For company templates, you can choose between Company and Personal. If Company is selected, the template appears for all of the company's collaborators. If Personal is selected, the template is only available for the person creating it.
The templates can be edited by all persons in the company.



In the cross-project templates, only the fields that are identical in each project are available. For example, no categories can be set as these are different in each project.
