Import Template
Import Template allows you to add a built-in database template to your project.
Instead of creating a database schema from scratch, you can import a pre-designed template and continue customizing it to match your application’s requirements.
Imported templates become part of your project and can be modified using all Qubase database engineering features.
Before you begin
Before importing a template, ensure that you have:
- Created a Workspace
- Created a Project
- Selected a database template from the Template Library
[!NOTE] Importing a template creates a new Database Schema in your project. Changes made after import affect only your project and do not modify the original template.
