Getting a Jump Start with Project Templates

When creating a New Project in the Ignition Designer, you are given the option to choose from a number of project templates in the Project Template field of the Open/Create Project window. Project templates are sets of pre-built windows mainly focused on navigation. They provide an easy way to quickly get started with different windows in the project instead of worrying about navigation. They can be used as is, or modified to fit the needs of the project.
