From template to live work

Load it without replacing your workspace

Templates add work to a board. They do not silently switch the board's industry, rename its stages, or move existing items.

1

Review

Select only the tasks that apply. Turnboards identifies matching items already on the target board or group.

2

Map

If the workflow differs, map template stages and categories to the board. Admins can create a missing category or use Uncategorized.

3

Load

The selected tasks appear immediately as editable work with the same assignments, notes, offline sync, and quick creation used everywhere else.

Start from the approved job information

Confirm the design or artwork, dimensions, quantity, materials, and reference before production begins. Attach practical notes to the item that needs them rather than separating context from the queue.

Show the current production handoff

Move the work through the stages configured for the shop. The template provides the sequence while the board supplies the actual owner, work center, blockers, and current state.

  • Identify the next executable operation
  • Record material or approval holds
  • Keep corrections visible instead of hiding rework

Finish with inspection and delivery readiness

Inspection is its own step because completed production is not automatically ready to ship. Confirm finish, dimensions, and quantity, resolve quality issues, then prepare pickup or delivery.

What this template does—and does not do

This template is a shared production work list. It does not provide estimating, purchasing, inventory, machine integration, revision control, quality records, traceability, shipping, or ERP functions.
