Vizlib Templates - How to Manage Templates

Vizlib Templates have been designed to help you create eye-catching pre-designed charts quickly, and apply your own styling. They've also been design to be easy to manage and this article takes you through all the steps you need to manage and publish your custom templates. 


TABLE OF CONTENTS


Vizlib Templates in the User Portal


You can find all of your templates settings by selecting the Templates section in the User Portal (Figure 1). When the page opens, you'll see tiles displaying all the templates currently available to you. If you're looking for a template with specific properties, you can use the Search function, and also use the filters to display Published templates, Unpublished templates, and templates for a specific Extension.
