Create a template from an app

Hi All,

I’ve been working on a training platform that would allow individual instances (separate databases from one another) Which is why I didn’t design the application to use a single install that multiple resellers could connect to.

I was going to create the primary app and then us sub-apps however sub apps are only available on the highest plan, which is not something I can afford right now.

As each app is going to have its own data, I thought making the primary app a template and then launching new apps from that template for each of my resellers. Thus allowing them to select which payment plan suits they requirements.

Is this an acceptable approach? I did do some initial testing and it looks like this will work, however it turned my current app into a template plan, thus removing the use of the domain so I can no longer test mail integrations as they require a real domain name.

Thoughts, suggestions?

I just did another test and it appears that templates do not import pages or data types/option sets?

How do the full application templates get this information into the newly created app from template?
