Use card templates to create new cards
Card Creation
Public cards are a great idea @chrisanderson , have to have a think how we may make use of them. I've got a separate question on cards that are used as templates for other cards. Is there any way to use a card as the base for a new card without copying the content and clicking new then pasting? It would be a nice feature to be able to open a template and then click a "Create new from card" button and it goes straight into edit mode with all the content of the template but as brand new card. Then the user could populate it, walk through the categorisation and verification steps and just make sure they are appropriate before saving it to their desired collection / board. Am I missing this? Does it exist already?
Enter your username or e-mail address. We'll send you an e-mail with instructions to reset your password.
Currently a workaround reached with one of our clients is to have a collection where the only authors are those that establish the templates and the only content is cards as templates and a style guide.
The templates are tagged and then the workflow is to copy the template with our copy card function, paste in to a new card. and then complete the card.
You could also have a collection where everyone is an author, called 'Drafts', where cards are made for review. For smaller teams a suggestion could be to send a knowledge alert to a group called 'Reviewers' with the intended location and tags included in the Alert.
For larger teams a slack channel may be a better idea, set up as an activity feed.
(Information on Knowledge Alerts and how to set up an activity feed are in our help centre :slightlysmilingface: )
The activity feed is good to know thanks!
I'm super excited for this feature. Our team did a big Guru audit and this would be a great tool to make that work have an ongoing effect on cleanliness and maintenance/content submission process consistency. I suspect many teams will be doing that as they scale, so I'm happy to hear that this is a feature being worked on.
This work is complete! Information on creating and editing card templates is available in the Help Center here!
