Templates

#What Are Templates?

A template is a packaged event blueprint. Instead of rebuilding the same session list every week (warmup → 8 intervals → cooldown, or welcome → keynote → panel → break → Q&A), you load a template and Tevyr instantiates the entire schedule into a brand-new event — sessions, durations, speaker fields, labels, audio cues, room settings, and all.

Templates exist for every Tevyr use case:

#Why Templates Matter

Every event has a setup cost — naming sessions, setting durations, picking labels, configuring overtime behavior. For one-off events that's fine. For anything you run regularly (a Tuesday HIIT class, a weekly all-hands, a Sunday service), redoing that work every time is wasted minutes.

Templates collapse that work to one click:

• Faster show setup — Load a template, change the date, you're done.
• Consistency across instances — Every Tuesday HIIT class has the exact same intervals, in the exact same order, with the exact same audio cues.
• Easier delegation — A new operator doesn't need to know how the program is structured. They pick the template; the program is structured for them.
• Durable reuse — Spend an hour perfecting a workout once, then reload it forever.
• Safer experimentation — Tweak a session in the running event without worrying — your saved template stays untouched.

#Prebuilt vs Custom Templates

There are two kinds of templates in Tevyr:

#Prebuilt Templates

Tevyr ships with a curated library of professionally configured programs across every use case. Browse them in Dashboard → Templates → Prebuilt, filter by category and subcategory, and load any one with a single click.

Prebuilt templates are versioned by the Tevyr team. When we add a new HIIT format or a better webinar structure, it appears in your library automatically — no update on your side.

#Custom Templates (Save as Template)

Anything you build in the dashboard can be saved as a template. The most common workflow:

1. Create a new event and build out the session list exactly how you want it.
2. Tweak durations, audio cues, labels, and room settings until the program feels right.
3. Open the event, click the menu, and choose Save as template.
4. Give it a name and category. The template appears in Dashboard → Templates → My Templates.

The next time you need that exact format, load the template and a fresh event is created instantly.

#Using a Template

Open Dashboard → Templates and you'll see two tabs:

• Prebuilt — Tevyr's curated library, organized by use case
• My Templates — Your saved custom templates

Filter by category (Gym, Conferences, Webinars, etc.) and, where applicable, by subcategory (HIIT, Strength, Yoga). Click any template card to see its session count, total duration, and difficulty level.

Click Use template to instantiate it. Tevyr creates a new event with all the sessions, settings, and labels pre-populated. You're dropped straight into the dashboard for that new event, ready to start.

#Templates and Scheduling

Templates pair naturally with Tevyr's scheduling features. When you load a template, every session keeps its duration but no specific start time — that lets you decide when the event runs.

Once instantiated, you can:

• Set a master start time — The first session's start time is set, and Tevyr auto-calculates every subsequent session's start time from the chain of durations.
• Link sessions — Templates can include linked sessions, so the next session auto-starts when the previous one ends. No operator action between intervals.
• Schedule individual sessions — Override individual sessions with specific clock times (e.g., "Q&A always starts at 11:30 AM, no matter what").

Combine these with Auto-play and Auto-load at the event level, and a template-loaded event can run itself end-to-end — operator-free.

See Sessions & Timers → Scheduling for the full mechanics.

#Templates and Automation

Templates compose well with the rest of Tevyr's automation surface:

The combination — template + linked sessions + auto-play + audio alerts — turns a recurring event into something you start once and ignore. Perfect for a coach running three back-to-back HIIT classes, a producer cutting between studio segments, or a worship team running the same Sunday service twice on a single morning.

#Managing Custom Templates

In Dashboard → Templates → My Templates, each saved template has these actions:

#When to Save a Template (and When Not To)

Save a template when:

• You'll run the same format more than twice
• The session list, durations, and audio cues stay roughly the same across runs
• You want a teammate to be able to run the event without rebuilding it from scratch
• The setup took more than 5 minutes and you don't want to redo it

Skip the template when:

• The event is genuinely one-off (a single product launch, a single rehearsal)
• The session list changes substantially every time (in which case the template's value is low)
• The thing you're reusing is just one or two sessions — copy them within the dashboard instead

#Plan Limits

Custom template storage is included in every paid plan. Free accounts can use unlimited prebuilt templates but cannot save their own. See your Dashboard → Settings → Plan for the exact custom-template count on your tier.

Loading a template never costs anything — it just creates an event. Standard plan-based limits apply to the loaded event itself (max sessions, max output links, max attached scripts).
