Project Templates
Start new projects with pre-loaded data layers tailored to common planning domains.
Choosing a template
When creating a new project, select a template from the grid in the Create Project dialog. The template determines which data layers are automatically added when the project is created.

How templates work
- Template layers are added automatically after the project is created.
- All template layers start with visibility turned off — toggle them on in the Layers panel when ready.
- Templates use WMS and ArcGIS map service connections. The actual map tiles load on demand when you make a layer visible.
- You can add, remove, or restyle any template layer after the project is created.
tip
Choose the template closest to your planning domain. You can always add or remove layers later — the template just gives you a head start with relevant reference data already connected.
