Templates allow your office to define a process for the different types of internships on your campus.
To create a new Experience Template
There are two ways to access the option to create a new template:
Via School Settings:
- Click on your name in the upper-right corner of the screen, then click School Settings.
- From the menu on the left of the page, click Experience Preferences.
- Click Browse Templates, then click Create Template in the upper-right corner of the page.
Via Experiences overview page:
- Navigate to the Experiences tab from the left menu column in Handshake.
- In the upper-right corner of the page, click Edit Templates.
- In the upper-right corner of the page that loads, click Create Template.
Note: If your view looks different, it's possible you're using the legacy version of experiences –– you may either choose to switch to the updated experiences workflow, or you can use the instructions for the legacy view.
