## Templates
Templates are welcome pages which are assigned to one or more roles.
Whenever a user with such a role uses the mobile client for the first time, one of these templates will be used to make up his personal welcome page
A use can edit his own personal welcome page and replace it with an existing template by using the Template button while editing his welcome page.
### Edit existing templates
To edit an existing template, the menu item Dashboard templates from the burger menu must be used.
This will allow to choose a template or to create a new empty template. After selecting an existing template the menu item "Edit dashboard" has to be used to edit the template.
Templates are customized the same way as personal welcome pages.
In addition, they allow to assign roles by using the roles button in the header:
The number next to the icon is the number of already assigned roles.
Once finished with customizing a template, the menu item My dashboard in the burger menu allows to go back to the personal welcome page.
