Generally, organizations have certain specialized knowledge of specific fields which they apply in repeated (and sometimes tailored) fashion to multiple situations, plans, or locations. In terms of the {{software}}, this would mean that the data may change, but the calculations models stay the same.

	This is the functionality which [[Template Project]]s offer. For any given [[Project]], it is possible to apply it as a [[Template Project\|Template]] to a new location. This will apply the calculation models as they were configured to the (new) data of the newly selected location, allowed for quicker, repeated, reproducible and comparable analyses of different project sites.

	The [[Project]] can now be saved again. However, it is recommended to set the rights of the [[Project]] back to "READ" again after all desired changes have been made and saved. Normally, when a [[Project]] is opened in the [[Editor]], it is not possible to start a second [[~~Editing~~ Session]] for the same [[Project]] at the same time, which means it also cannot be used to create a new [[Project]] with until the running [[~~Editing~~ Session]] is closed. A [[Project]] which is set entirely to be [[read-only]] can have multiple [[~~Editing~~ Session]]s running in parallel, thus allowing it to be used as a [[Template Project]] for the creation of a new [[Project]] while the [[~~Editing~~ Session]] is still running.
