SNAP-Ed Data Templates

Create and manage reusable SNAP-Ed custom data templates in PEARS.

SNAP-Ed Data Templates are reusable configurations that pre-fill the SNAP-Ed Custom Data section when creating program activities. Templates save time when you frequently create program activities with the same SNAP-Ed settings such as project, curriculum, intervention, and target audiences.

Permission required: SNAP-Ed user with template management permission.
