The Agile Board Template Builder for Jira app allows you to define one or more templates that determine how an Agile Board is to be configured to allow users to create boards using these templates. You can also provide users the ability to request a board be created from a template, and then have certain users or groups process the request and create a board (or reject the request).
...
You also have /wiki/spaces/ABTB/pages/60817443 in the configuration that helps you migrate content from Delegated Project Creator for Jira Agile to Agile Board Template Builder.

While on the Manage apps page, select Board Template Settings from the sidebar to define configurations and then the board templates that use those configurations. The Board Template Settings page is divided into four sections: three configure a board and one to create templates.
...
Since an Agile board's configuration includes settings for swim lanes, columns and quick filters, you must define those configurations (shown above as 1, 2, and 3) before defining any board templates (shown above as 4 above).

If you determine that you created a swim lane in error, just click Delete next to that swim lane. If you want to change the sequence in which the swim lanes are shown on any Agile Board built with this configuration, click the grabber bar () and drag a swim lane to the intended position.
When you have finished defining each desired swim lane, click Close to return to the Board Template Settings page. Now the page displays a list of the swim lanes within that configuration.
