Hi Lucid Legends & Lucid Team,

 

When users search for templates in LucidSpark, they often expect to find something that fits their specific scenario. However, there are many instances where the available templates either don’t match the requirement at all or only address part of the need. In some cases, users may find multiple templates that each provide a portion of the solution—but none that deliver a complete fit.

Attempting to combine full templates introduces its own complications. Merging structures, removing unwanted components, and aligning different design patterns can become time-consuming and frustrating. Instead of increasing productivity, the process adds unnecessary overhead and reduces the value of using prebuilt templates in the first place.

To address this gap, I am proposing a template customization capability that allows users to extract individual sections, components, or functional blocks from multiple LucidSpark templates and assemble them into a single, purpose-built design. Rather than importing entire templates and manually dismantling them, users could selectively pick only the elements they need—saving time, reducing clutter, and ensuring that the end result aligns directly with their requirements.

This approach empowers users with modularity, flexibility, and efficiency, turning LucidSpark templates into reusable building blocks rather than rigid layouts. It enhances user experience, encourages creativity, and supports more personalized outcomes without introducing unnecessary complexity.

Hi ​@SharmilShah, thank you for this detailed feedback! I can certainly understand why choosing specific components from multiple templates would be helpful. 

I did just want to mention that currently, you can copy/paste components of specific templates into a new Lucid board and then create a custom template following these steps from the Start with a template article from the Lucid Help Center. 

While this is not a specific feature fully built out for a modular, choose & pick, fully customizable template design tool, I did just want to mention this as the current option in case this is helpful for yourself or any other user who comes across this post.

@Ambar D Thank you for the response. I tried the option and I have a follow up question. In my use case, I bring Azure DevOps data and creating a roadmap. I need a multiple column which I can add in the template but how dynamically I can update/populate the data from Lucidcards for Azure devops?

Are you having trouble viewing your data after copy/pasting your Azure DevOps cards into a new board ​@SharmilShah? Let me know if I’m misunderstanding your question.

If you’re copy/pasting cards between Lucid documents: You can copy/paste cards from one document to another, but the data will not copy over into a new document. If you need the data included, I recommend re-importing the cards on your new document.

If you’re wondering how data is synced between Azure DevOps and Lucid in general: 

  • Azure DevOps cards in Lucid are bi-directionally synced, meaning that changes made in Lucidspark will be reflected in Azure DevOps and vice versa. 
  • Note that if your account has the Agility Accelerator, you can determine how data is synced between Azure DevOps and Lucid: manually, automatically one-way from Azure DevOps to Lucid, or automatically both ways.

To set up the Lucid Cards for Azure DevOps integration and import work items from Azure DevOps:

Hello ​@Ambar D  No no, I am not facing any trouble in copying Lucid cards for Azure devops. It works fine when I bring the cards on the board. Let me explain you a scenario: 

  1. I am working on creating a custom roadmap where as suggested earlier, I copied a template into LucidSpark. 
  2. Brought data through Lucid Cards for Azure DevOps.
  3. In the template, I brought in, I need to add few more columns and tag the data.
  4. So I create a few columns in the table (let’s say a roadmap table template I use and manually added few more columns)
  5. Here is the problem: I want to tag data from the Lucid Cards to the columns. Is there a way I can read the fields of Lucid Cards for DevOps and add into the columns I created or I can link the column to a field? 

Hope this clarifies the issue. Let me know if I need to add more light on this.

 

Thanks,

Sharmil
