Admin: Packing Templates

The Packing Templates card on Admin > Personalization lets you create reusable packing list templates that users can apply to any trip.

Packing Template Manager

What templates are

A packing template is a three-level hierarchy:

Template
└── Category
    └── Item

When a user applies a template to a trip, all categories and items from that template are copied into the trip's packing list. Each item carries its weight, quantity and bag along: a bag the trip does not have yet is created.

Templates are instance-wide. Besides the ones you build here, the list also shows the templates users saved from a trip's packing list (the Common list plus their own items), and you can rename, edit or delete those as well.

Template list

The template list shows each template as a collapsible row displaying:

  • Template name
  • Category count and item count (for example 3 categories and 12 items)
  • Rename and delete buttons

Inside an expanded template, an item shows its quantity, weight and bag next to its name when it has them (for example 2×, 300 g, Backpack). These values come from the trip list the template was saved from; items you add here start with none of them.

Creating a template

  1. Click New Template (top right of the card).
  2. Type a name and press Enter or click the confirm button.
  3. The new template is added to the list and automatically expanded.

Adding categories to a template

With a template expanded, click Add category (dashed border button at the bottom of the expanded section). Type a category name and press Enter or click confirm.

Adding items to a category

Click the + button inside any category header. An Item name field appears below the last item. Type a name and press Enter to add it. You can add several items in a row without closing the field: press Enter after each one.

Editing inline

All editing is inline:

  • Rename a template: click the pencil icon on the template row. The name becomes an input; press Enter or click away to save.
  • Rename a category: click the pencil icon in the category header. Press Enter or click away to save.
  • Rename an item: hover the item row to reveal the pencil icon, then click it. Press Enter or click the confirm button to save (clicking away does not save).

Deleting

  • Delete a template: click the trash icon on the template row and confirm (Delete the template "{name}" with all its categories and items?). This does not affect trips that already had items from this template applied.
  • Delete a category: click the trash icon in the category header. A category that still has items asks first (Delete the category "{name}" and all its items?) and removes the items with it; an empty category goes at once.
  • Delete an item: hover the item row to reveal the trash icon. It goes at once.

The phone admin has the same card in its Personalization section.

Applying templates to a trip

Users apply templates (Apply template) and save a list as a new one (Save as template) in the trip's Lists tab. See Packing-Templates for user-facing documentation.
