How can a custom template be created in Smartsheet?

Creating a custom template in Smartsheet is accomplished by configuring a sheet to fit specific needs and then saving it as a template. This process allows users to design a sheet that incorporates particular columns, formatting, workflows, and any other features that reflect the requirements of a project or process. Once the desired configuration is complete, users can save the sheet as a template, which can then be reused for future projects, ensuring consistency and efficiency in setup.

Utilizing only pre-set templates, importing data from other software, or deleting existing sheets do not facilitate the creation of a custom template tailored to individualized requirements. Pre-set templates serve as starting points but do not allow for the specific alterations and configurations that are often necessary for unique projects. Importing data might bring in necessary information, but it does not create a template itself. Similarly, deleting sheets does not contribute to template creation; it merely removes existing content without establishing a foundational structure for future use.
