Add new templates
Developers can also create their own customized templates and add them to their ICA-AtoM application. This involves, however, dealing directly with the application code and should only be undertaken by programmers familiar with Symfony and PHP. See developer documentation at the [[qubit:Main Page|Qubit website] for adding customized templates to the application.
