A team template contains all of the information necessary to create a team solution on a server. Templates are stored in the template directory, which is a registry of templates for the server stored a table in the modSystem database.

Templates are created using the Access Workflow Designer. For more information about creating new templates, see "Creating a Team Template" in the Developer’s Guide.

Using the Team Solutions Manager, you can install a new template from a file, delete or rename an existing template, and export a template to a file. In addition, once a template is stored on the server in the template directory, it can be used to create new instances of the solution on the server. For more information about creating new solution, see Creating New Solutions from a Template.

Microsoft Office Developer contains an Issue Tracking solution in the template directory. You can customize this template to create your own solution templates and store them in the template directory.
