Just like in PowerPoint, you can create templates for your company, and for specific clients, using Displayr. These templates can set design elements like color formatting in charts and tables, backgrounds, font styles, and statistical assumptions. The basic logic is very similar to PowerPoint: a good template consists both of defaults and also of a series of example layouts that can be readily used. A template gives your report a cohesive and consistent look and feel. It involves multiple Displayr features.
Requirements
Create a new Document by clicking on + New Document.
Please note this requires the Data Stories module or a Displayr license.
Method
A template is not a specific type of document. Rather, it's a document you create with the explicit goal of re-using when creating new documents. So, you create a template by clicking + New Document on your Documents page in Displayr.
It is a good idea to give it a name like _Template, where the underscore forces it to the top of your Documents page. You can create multiple templates. Unlike with PowerPoint, Displayr has a built-in versioning system, so you can restore old templates by clicking on the cog at the top right of the document, pressing Document Settings > Version History, and then use this version for the version you wish to revert to.
