How to save, edit, and delete budget templates

Written by Egor Dubrovsky

Budget templates let you reuse a category structure across multiple projects. You can save any existing budget as a template and apply it when setting up a new budget.

Save your budget as a template

  1. In the top navigation ribbon, select the Budgeting tab.

  2. Click the gear icon (⚙️) in the top right corner.

  3. Select Save Template from the dropdown menu.

  4. In the Save Template window, enter a name for the template in the Name field. The App pre-fills a name based on the current budget — you can change it.

  5. Choose what to include in the template by selecting the relevant checkboxes:

    • Save Rates to this template — saves the values from the Rate column. If unchecked, the template will include only the structure (categories and positions) without any cost values.

    • Save Fringes to this template — saves the assigned fringes. If unchecked, fringes will not carry over to new budgets created from this template.

    • Save Deductions to this template — saves the assigned deductions. If unchecked, deductions will not carry over.

  6. Click Save Template.

Note: Templates are saved with the budget structure they were created from (2-Level or 3-Level). A template saved from a 3-Level budget will only be available when setting up a new 3-Level budget, and vice versa.

Apply a saved template

Saved templates are available in Step 2 of the budget setup wizard, alongside the default Demo budget templates.

  1. Open the Budgeting tab in a project with no budget yet.

  2. In the wizard, select a budget structure (2-Level or 3-Level) in Step 1 and click Next →.

  3. In Step 2, select your saved template from the available cards.

  4. Click Generate.

Edit and delete templates

  1. Click the gear icon (⚙️) in the Budgeting tab.

  2. Select Edit Templates.

The Edit Templates window shows all available templates with the following columns: Name, Architecture (2-Level or 3-Level), Image, and Action.

Note: The default Demo budget templates provided by the App cannot be edited or deleted — the ✏️ and 🗑️ icons are inactive for these templates. Only templates you have saved yourself can be modified.

Rename a template

  1. Click the pencil icon (✏️) next to the template you want to rename.

  2. In the Edit Template window, enter a new name in the Name field.

  3. Click Save Template.

Delete a template

  1. Click the trash icon (🗑️) next to the template you want to delete.

  2. Read the warning: "I understand and accept that this budget template will be fully removed so I will not be able to create any budget based on this template."

  3. Click Delete Template.

  4. Click Confirm Template Deletion to confirm.

Caution: Deleting a template is permanent and cannot be undone. Budgets already created from this template are not affected — they will continue to work normally. Similarly, if you delete a budget that was used to create a template, the template itself is not affected and remains available for future use.
