Creating an Export Template

If you frequently use the same layers, you can save them as a template to automatically include them in each export.

  • After selecting the applicable Map Layers to include in your export, select Save As next to the 'Select a template' dropdown.
  • Enter a template name and click Save.

On future reports, you can select that template from the dropdown to automatically populate the same layers in your export. To delete the template, click the dropdown and select the trashcan next to the template name.
