One of the available options when creating a new database is to create it using one of our existing templates. This can be useful when creating commonly used databases. The fields in these databases can always be modified like any other database in a workspace.
To create a new database from an existing template:
1. Click on the Database tab and click New Database. Select the option to Start from one of our Existing Templates.
2. Select the desired template type.
3. Give the database a name and description, set the Visibility Settings, and activate Attachments if desired.
4. Click Create Database. The add record window will appear. Records can be added using the pre-existing fields.
