Project views and templates both let you customize your work and save time making new graphs or updating existing ones. Project views and templates have some similar-looking forms, so it is important to understand how they differ and what roles they play.
A template is a framework from which you create new project views. It contains no imported tasks or milestones and it is never displayed on the screen as graphics. It is just a convenient way of standardizing the parameters for creating new project views. The template establishes default settings for color assignments, row and swimlane assignments, font properties, time axis choices, headers, footers, and comment boxes. It also tells OnePager which columns to import from a Microsoft Project plan when a new project view is created. Once you have created a project view using a template, the project view becomes independent of the template. You can change the template and it will have no further effect on the project view.
