Convert a canvas template (deprecated) to a dashboard（将画布模板（已弃用）转换为仪表板）

Object and object set canvas templates are a deprecated method for sharing and embedding content from a Quiver analysis. We recommend using dashboards instead of canvas templates. Dashboards are the preferred method of creating, sharing, and embedding content from a Quiver analysis. Though existing canvas templates continue to be supported and editable, the creation of new canvas templates is deprecated. We encourage any existing canvas templates to be converted to dashboards.

Key differences between dashboards and templates

Templates	Dashboards
Inputs
Object type input can be changed in published mode	Object type input cannot be changed in published mode
Supports only one input	Supports multiple inputs
Input types limited to an object or object set	Multiple input types
Creation
Resize cards on your canvas, and add containers to organize content.	Drag-and-drop content into your dashboard, and easily resize, align, position and structure content with tabs and sections without using containers. Containers are still available as an advanced functionality.
No collapsible sections	Collapsible sections
One-to-one mapping between canvases and templates	A dashboard can contain content from multiple canvases
Can create one template per canvas in the analysis	Unlimited number of dashboards in an analysis, independent of the number of canvases used for the analysis
Consumption
Templates cannot be displayed as a card in an analysis	A dashboard can be displayed as a card in an analysis
RID required to embed in another application	Directly select available dashboards from dropdown, no RID needed

:::callout{theme="neutral"} Quiver does not require existing templates to be rebuilt as dashboards. Templates will continue to work as expected. You will still be able to share, embed, and edit Quiver templates. :::

To convert an existing object canvas template to a dashboard, you first need to convert the object canvas template back to a free form canvas. To do this, select Convert to free form canvas from the canvas menu of an object canvas template.

Then, from the canvas menu at the bottom of the application, accessible through the down arrow by the canvas name, select Convert to object canvas template.

The dialog presents a choice between converting the canvas to a template (a deprecated feature) or creating a new Dashboard containing all the cards in the selected canvas.

Enter the dashboard title and select an object or object set to use as the object type input. Then select Create dashboard instead of convert to template.

Alternatively, it is also possible to create a dashboard and add cards to dashboards one by one manually if converting the entire template to a dashboard is not desired.

将画布模板（已弃用）转换为仪表板

对象和对象集画布模板是一种已弃用的方法，用于共享和嵌入 Quiver 分析中的内容。我们建议使用仪表板替代画布模板。仪表板是创建、共享和嵌入 Quiver 分析内容的首选方法。虽然现有的画布模板仍受支持且可编辑，但已不再支持创建新的画布模板。我们鼓励将现有的画布模板转换为仪表板。

仪表板与模板的主要区别

模板	仪表板
输入
对象类型输入可在发布模式下更改	对象类型输入不可在发布模式下更改
仅支持一个输入	支持多个输入
输入类型仅限于对象或对象集	多种输入类型
创建
调整画布上的卡片大小，并添加容器来组织内容。	将内容拖放到仪表板中，通过标签页和分区轻松调整大小、对齐、定位和结构化内容，无需使用容器。容器仍可作为高级功能使用。
无可折叠分区	可折叠分区
画布与模板之间为一对一映射	一个仪表板可包含来自多个画布的内容
分析中每个画布可创建一个模板	分析中可创建无限数量的仪表板，与用于分析的画布数量无关
使用
模板无法作为卡片显示在分析中	仪表板可作为卡片显示在分析中
嵌入到其他应用时需要 RID	可直接从下拉菜单中选择可用的仪表板，无需 RID

:::callout{theme="neutral"} Quiver 不要求将现有模板重建为仪表板。模板将继续正常运行。您仍然可以共享、嵌入和编辑 Quiver 模板。 :::

要将现有的对象画布模板转换为仪表板，首先需要将对象画布模板转换回自由形式画布。为此，请从对象画布模板的画布菜单中选择转换为自由形式画布。

然后，从应用程序底部的画布菜单（可通过画布名称旁的下箭头访问）中，选择转换为对象画布模板。

对话框提供了两个选项：将画布转换为模板（已弃用功能），或创建一个新的仪表板，其中包含所选画布中的所有卡片。

输入仪表板标题，并选择一个对象或对象集作为对象类型输入。然后选择创建仪表板，而不是转换为模板。

或者，如果不想将整个模板转换为仪表板，也可以创建仪表板并手动逐个向仪表板添加卡片。
