How to define a template?

To define a dashboard template, follow procedure and explanations about templates and catalogs.

Before doing this, first make sure that the configuration is complete :avoid any widgets based on accounts of a company (specific to a company), use class of accounts, or sections of your chart of account.
define titles and labels generic to be used for any other company

Start with an empty Dashboard

From the Dashboard home screen, you can start with an empty dashboard (not recommended).

Therefore, you can configure accounting by applying a chart of account, or ignore this step. Then, you can build your dashboard by adding pages and widgets.

It is also possible to apply add-on templates to add content when the Dashboard has already been configured.
