How do I save a current project as a project template?
In the new Bluerithm (app.bluerithm.com), a live project does not have a separate “save as template” file export. You either copy the project and convert the copy, or convert the project itself into a template project.
Copy first when the original should stay on the regular Projects list (for example, a project contractors are already using).
- Open Projects.
- Select the project and choose Copy Project.
- In the copy dialog, use Include in copy and Carry over from source for the pieces you want, then confirm. You should see Project copy started! Track progress in background jobs — the new project appears when the job completes.
- Open the copy and choose Convert to template project. It then lives under Project Templates.
To turn the same project into a template (it leaves the regular Projects list), select it and choose Convert to template project. Reverse that later with Convert to standard project.
You can also start a blank template with Create Project Template on Project Templates. That does not copy an existing live project.
After a project is a template, build its equipment types, work, and reports there. To reuse that content on a new live project, use Project Setup Tools and Copy Into Project.
