Create MobileFirst project templates

We can create MobileFirst project templates by exporting MobileFirst projects. You define metadata information, such as the name of the template, and you select the project.to use as the basis for the template.

To identify the source code that can be configured by developers who use the project.template, add FIX Me task tags in the configurable source code before you create a template.

The following limitations apply:

• Only hybrid MobileFirst projects can be used as a basis for MobileFirst project templates.

• We can create MobileFirst project templates only from MobileFirst projects containing single applications.

1. From the Explorer view In MobileFirst Studio, right-click the required MobileFirst project, and then click Export.

2. Expand IBM MobileFirst, select MobileFirst Project Template, and then click Next.

3. Provide information in the fields listed in the following table, and then click Finish:

   Field	Description
   Template Name	Name of the project.template. Spaces are allowed.
   Author	Author or provider of the project.template.
   Description	Brief description of the project.template.
   Thumbnail	Thumbnail image to identify the project.template. Valid file formats: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif. Maximum size: 40x40 pixels.
