Save and Reuse Templates

Save a working venue layout and apply it to future events without redrawing the same site from scratch.

Article guidance

Templates save layout structure, background, grid, plan data, and rules so repeat venues are faster to prepare. They are especially useful for regular markets, annual festivals, venues with fixed infrastructure, or similar event footprints.

Save a template

Open the finished site plan: Use the event site plan builder.
Choose Save Template: Enter a clear template name and optional description or venue name.
Save: The template appears in the Template Library.

What makes a good template

The venue background, scale, boundary, and fixed infrastructure are reliable.
Reusable zones, access routes, stage positions, or utility points have been checked.
Event-specific participant placements, temporary notes, or one-off exceptions have been removed or reviewed before reuse.

Use a template

Open the target event site plan: Start from the event you want to plan.
Choose Load Template: Open the Template Library.
Choose Use Template: SmartGig applies the template to the event plan.
Adjust for the new event: Move participants, labels, zones, infrastructure, or rules as needed.
