How-to: Create a Trip Template & Use It To Make a New Trip

A Trip Template allows you to save time, by leveraging the work that you put in, creating other Trips. Simply re-use the Template every time you need to duplicate a past Itinerary and/or Automated Tasks.

When to use Trip Templates

  • You have similar TRIPS that repeat quarterly, annually, etc.
  • You require all of the same TASKS on your TRIPS
  • You want to keep your descriptions, images, messaging, etc. across all of your TRIPS

When to use the Library

  • You want to have consistent elements, but pick and choose which TASKS and HIGHLIGHT & ITINERARY ITEMS you include from the Library
    • You can use both Templates and Library at the same time!
  • Use the Sync feature when you want changes to Library items to "sync" to the TRIPS that use them

More on Templates

  • Any YouLi TRIP that you create can be turned into a TEMPLATE
  • Ultimately, a TEMPLATE allows you to create just one outline of a TRIP PAGE and then customize Trips from your Template, tweaking details as needed
  • Your chosen dates for a TRIP created from a Template will automatically synchronize for both your ITINERARY and AUTOMATED TASKS
  • There is no limit to how many TEMPLATES you can create & they are safely stored in your TRIP DASHBOARD
  • Template Notes that appear in All Child Trips
    • Template Notes can be set at the Template level apply to all child trip but also edited at the Trip level.
