Create and use project templates

Turn repeatable projects into reusable plans with tasks, timelines, fees, and portal settings.

Written by Geoff Mina

Project templates turn a repeatable delivery process into a reusable starting point. A template can carry the project type, portal settings, pricing, description, tasks, relative task dates, subtasks, to-dos, assignments, and files into a new project.

Create a template

  1. Open Settings → Templates → Projects.

  2. Select New template and give it a recognizable outcome-based name.

  3. On Overview, choose the project type, description, client portal behavior, and fee schedule.

  4. On Tasks, add the work the template should create.

  5. Save the template.

A Moxie project template with three tasks and relative due dates

Each task date is measured from the future project’s start date, making one template reusable across different calendars.

Build a useful task plan

Drag tasks to establish their order. Each task can include an initial status, assignment, priority, relative due date, description, to-dos, files, and repetition settings. The template summary shows the total task count and the final relative due date.

The Project templates list showing project type, task count, timeline, and fees

The template list makes its project type, size, timeline, and pricing visible before you use it.

Use the template

Start a new project and select Start from a template. Choose the template, client, and project start date. Moxie creates the project and calculates task dates from that start date. You can also save an existing project as a template or import template tasks into an existing project when those actions are available.
