Depictio emplates

Templates are pre-packaged project configurations that set up a complete bioinformatics analysis project — dashboards included — with a single command.

How templates work

A template bundles:

  • Project configuration — workflows, data collections, and cross-DC links with {VAR_NAME} placeholders
  • Recipes — Python transforms that convert raw pipeline outputs into dashboard-ready tables
  • Dashboard YAML — imported automatically on first run, with template variable substitution
  • Cross-DC links — enable interactive filtering across data collections

See Template System Reference for the YAML format and resolution mechanics, and Recipes for how data transformations work.
