# Templates Hub (PDF Mapper)

# Templates Hub (PDF Mapper)

The Templates Hub at route `/templates` is a **card-based landing page** that surfaces shortcuts to the major template-creation tools. It's a thin wrapper — 61 lines of code total — that exists to give first-time users a guided choice of where to go.

The internal file name is `PDFMapper.tsx`, but the page itself is titled **"Template Management"** in the UI. Don't confuse the file name with the page's purpose — there's no per-PDF mapping happening here; it's just a hub.

This article documents the hub for completeness. Most operators bypass it after the first week and go directly to the deeper tools.

## When you see this page

You land here by:

* Clicking **Templates** in the sidebar **without** drilling into a specific template
* Clicking the `/templates` link in an email or external doc
* Navigating directly to `/templates`

Most operators bypass the hub once they know which deeper tool they want — direct links to [Template Builder](/1nspect/admin-operator/templates/template-builder) (`/templates/builder`) and [Template Designer](/1nspect/admin-operator/templates/template-designer) (`/templates/designer`) work fine.

## Screen layout

\[SCREENSHOT: pdf-mapper-hub.png — desktop, the Templates Hub showing a header "Template Management" and a single card titled "Template Builder & Visual Designer" with descriptive text below.]

The hub displays:

1. **Header** — *"Template Management"*
2. **One large card** titled *"Template Builder & Visual Designer"* with the subtitle *"All-in-one template creation and design tool"*
3. **Four bullet points** describing the tool's capabilities:
   * Create new templates with Gemini Vision AI schema extraction
   * Design report layouts with drag-and-drop visual designer
   * Copy and edit existing report templates
   * Manage schemas, sections, fields, and formatting rules
4. **A "Click to get started" prompt** at the bottom

Tapping the card navigates to `/templates/builder` (i.e. opens [Template Builder](/1nspect/admin-operator/templates/template-builder)).

## Why this page exists

It's a navigational on-ramp for new tenants. The full Templates area has several specialized tools — Schema Upload, Schema Review, Template Editor, Template Designer, Visual Page Designer — and a flat sidebar entry to "Templates" leaves first-time users uncertain about where to start.

The hub funnels everyone to [Template Builder](/1nspect/admin-operator/templates/template-builder) as the canonical entry point, where the **+ Initialize TREC Template** flow guides them through their first template creation.

## What this page does NOT do

* **It does not edit anything.** It's just a navigation landing.
* **It does not map PDFs** despite the internal file name. The actual PDF-to-schema mapping happens in [Schema Upload & Review](/1nspect/admin-operator/templates/schema-upload-and-review).
* **It does not list templates.** That's [Template Builder](/1nspect/admin-operator/templates/template-builder).
