When an item or thread is added to a wall, it inherits the default attributes of the template. Some attributes of an item or thread can be changed once placed on the wall (for example: color, line thickness). If a template is changed, any attributes of an item or thread on the wall will automatically inherit those changes - unless the attribute was changed on the wall.

Item Templates
From the annotated screenshot above all of the default attributes for an item can be seen.
- The title, including font and font size
- The shape of the item - including no shape
- The item size, shown inches or centimeters (as specified by iOS)
- The thickness of the outline of the shape; or make the shape solid
- Badges - each item template can have multiple badges
- Optional default data for the item: description, photo, map, or webpage
- Meta data about the item: keywords, create date, author
- Optional default data: description, photo, map, or webpage
Badge shape can be selected from a list of choices and dragged onto the sample of the item. Badge positions are limited to specific points within the item. Badges can be repositioned by tapping on one of the badges applied to the item.
Badges also have a front to back order allowing more complex badging to be created. The front to back order can be changed by tapping on one of the badges in the item.
Default data can be associated with items: a description, photo, map, or webpage. Photos, maps, and webpages are placeholders to be filled in when an item is placed on the wall. Choose a default by tapping the star ☆ button.
Each item can have a geometric shape, no shape, or a symbol.
Thread Templates
The screenshot above describes the various aspects of creating a thread template. Each thread has a Primary and Overlay line component. The thread template may use one or the other or both. The Overlay line is always drawn on top of the Primary line. Attributes of a thread template include:
- The title, including font and color
- Primary line type: none, solid, dashed, zig-zag, etc.
- Primary line embellishment. This is a small graphic that is displayed in the center, or end, of thread segments. Examples include none, slash, double-slash, x-out square, etc.
- Primary line color
- Primary line thickness. Note that some line types restrict the thickness settings.
- Line pins: none, push-pin, arrow head, etc.
- Overlay line type: none, solid, dashed, zig-zag, etc.
