TIP: We invite you to learn about this solution below, and once you are ready, to then proceed here.
Our Sync Template solution frees you from analysis paralysis on templates: boldly use them to create projects, periodically adapt their tasks as things change, then synchronize those adjustments out to their projects.
To use it…
NOTE: in preparation, first deploy our free Sync Template Helper into your Workfront environment as shown in the Media section below.
Select a template, choose a project filter, and check the desired options to synchronize from among the following:
- Task Approval Processes
- Task Assignments (Usually with Durations and Work) NEW!
- Task Costs
- Task Descriptions
- Task Durations (Usually with Assignments and Work) NEW!
- Task ExtRefIDs
- Task Milestones
- Tasks Missing From Template (Might require multiple runs) NEW!
- Task Names
- Task Numbers (Might require multiple runs) NEW!
- Task Predecessors (Might require multiple runs)
- Task Priorities
- Task Roles
- Task Teams
- Task Work (Usually with Assignments and Durations) NEW!
Then run it to synchronize the template tasks out to the matching project tasks that were created from the template.

Sync Template Glossy:
STEP 1: Navigate to our free Sync Template Helper package as a prerequisite
STEP 2: Deploy Sync Template Helper to install the custom form, parameters, and view that Sync Template requires
STEP 3: For desired Template’s Tasks, use the Template Task views to attach the Template Task Override form to any new Tasks to effectively associate the resulting Synchronized Tasks with the Template
STEP 4: Run the Sync Template solution for the options of interest
TIP: since some of the settings (e.g. Task Number, Predecessors) are recursive, it might be necessary to run the Sync Template more than once until all such items “settle” and no further syncs are required
- Pricing
From $0.25/Task, to a maximum of:
$399/Day
$1,499/Week
$3,999/Month
$14,999/YearThe cost is per matching project task modified, with no charge for tasks that match their template task.
