Templates save layout structure, background, grid, plan data, and rules so repeat venues are faster to prepare. They are especially useful for regular markets, annual festivals, venues with fixed infrastructure, or similar event footprints.
Save a template
Open the finished site plan
Use the event site plan builder.
Choose Save Template
Enter a clear template name and optional description or venue name.
Save
The template appears in the Template Library.
What makes a good template
- The venue background, scale, boundary, and fixed infrastructure are reliable.
- Reusable zones, access routes, stage positions, or utility points have been checked.
- Event-specific participant placements, temporary notes, or one-off exceptions have been removed or reviewed before reuse.

SmartGig applies the template to the event plan.
