The Template Manager is a template library for personal and company-wide templates, allowing you to easily manage and edit your templates directly in ALEAS Board. The Template Manager includes a full text search and different filter options according to category, tags or author.

You can save templates to your personal library („My Templates“) with a right-click on the template. From there you have the option to share templates within your community („Library“) or insert them directly into any existing board.

Templates can be saved to the library in all supported template formats. Templates which have been created with the Template Editor can be edited later on and are marked as “editable”.

A wide variety of optimized templates are provided by ALEAS. Most of them are entirely customizable with the Template Editor and you can adapt them to your own requirements.

Our IntelliFrames are special templates which are created automatically based on pre-defined parameters. The IntelliFrame library currently includes:

• Agenda
• Sprint & Masterplan
• Spreadsheet
• iFrame Embed for websites or spreadsheets
• Power BI charts Embed
• ALEAS Projects Embed

You can find all the details in our IntelliFrame section.

The Template Editor is integrated into the Template tool and allows you to create high-performance and high-resolution templates from scratch or edit existing templates without leaving ALEAS Board. The Template Editor is an advanced SVG drawing program, which allows you to quickly create basic shapes or textboxes but can also be used to design more complex templates. The SVG format offers several benefits, such as infinite scalability and resolution independence. SVG files are very small and can therefore be loaded very quickly.
