Blueprints in Wrike

Table 165. Availability - Legacy plans


Overview

All users except collaborators can create and launch blueprints. Collaborators can view blueprints shared with them.

Blueprints are a template for creating new work items, you create a task, folder, or project blueprint, and then can easily create new versions of this work item with any relevant changes. Even if you add due dates or assignees to a blueprint, it will not be displayed in to-do lists, dashboards or reports.

Use blueprints when you have similar tasks, folders, or projects that recur often. Launching a blueprint means you can use it to quickly create a task, folder, or project with attributes you've already specified. Blueprints have more advanced functionality than simply duplicating a task, folder, or project.

With blueprints you can:

Note

Users on Free and Professional accounts can use Templates rather than Blueprints. Templates are a way of achieving the same basic function as Blueprints, but without some increased functionality.

How to find Blueprints

Your blueprints are located in your Blueprints section. To access blueprints that you created or are shared with you:

  • Click Blueprints in the right-hand navigation panel of your Home page.

  • Click the Launchpad icon next to your profile picture and select Blueprints.

  • Click the hamburger menu icon in the upper-left corner of your workspace and select Blueprints.

  • Click the green + button in the upper right-hand corner of your workspace and search for a blueprint.

Note

Task blueprints can be duplicated like a normal task, but project and folder blueprints cannot.

Request forms and blueprints

You can set up a request form to create a task, folder, or project from a blueprint. If you do, every time someone uses the form to submit a request, a task or project is created from the nominated blueprint. Note that when using a request form to create a task from a blueprint, the specified location in the blueprint will not be applied to the task.
