Create custom templates (Aha! Whiteboards Advanced plan)

The template library is vast — but it might not cover your particular use case. For customers on the Whiteboards Advanced plan, you can:

Design your own custom template and add it to the template library in your Aha! account, so contributors to your workspace have access to a pre-built visualization that covers your business needs. Add them to a workspace line and every child workspace will inherit them.
Create a personal custom template, so that you can address critical workflows with the same framework.
