Creating templates

Whether four-field matrix, timeline or bulls eye: on weframe One templates can be created in no time at all on which content can be written. You simply arrange text, graphics or images in the template function of the sheets.

Using templates on weframe One

Templates - formatted templates - can be created on weframe One, on which you can then draw, write or arrange content. In the simplest case, this can be an empty sheet with a set heading or more complex methodological representations such as a business model canvas.

Working with templates has the following advantages:

• Once a template has been created, it can be duplicated as often as required and thus used more than once in a session.
• The design elements of the template are fixed and do not disturb the work with other contents, e.g. Notes.
• The fixed elements of the template can be overdrawn or overwritten.

I can use these elements to design templates:

• Text (via text notes)
• Images (via image notes)
   

Creating templates

1. Open a sheet (portrait or landscape) from the Session menu.

2. Rotate the sheet over the active outer corner to the back.

3. Here you can now design your template by arranging text, graphics or images on the back of the sheet

a) Use text as headings or labels

• Create text notes with the desired text, patch them to the weframe One Device and drag it to the opened sheet back.
• The frame of the text notes disappears, the text is freely visible.
• Scale the text to the desired size with two fingers and arrange it at the desired position, e.g. as a heading or as a label for areas or objects.

b) Use images as background or graphic element

• Create an image note with the desired image, patch it to the weframe One device and drag it to the opened sheet back.
• The frame of the image note disappears, the image is visible in its original format.
• Scale the image to the desired size with two fingers and arrange it in the desired position
  Please note: Ordered pictures always lie BACK of arranged text.

4. When all desired elements are arranged to the template, turn the sheet over the outer active corner to the front again.

5. Now you can draw and arrange content (Notes) on the created template.
