Each new install of the ucp/userman module will by default create a "<brand>-template" with tabs showing CDR and Voicemail widgets. The PBX administrator is free to use this default template as-is, they can modify the default template to better suit their needs, or can ignore it and create their own templates.
This default template is for reference. If it's not required it can be deleted safely.

How to associate template to a new user

shown in the action column on the UCP Templates listing page.

Template and users permissions
...
While Rebuild/Merging the template for a user, only the widgets for which the user has permission permissions will be added to the UCP panel. Any other widgets will be ignored. In order for all widgets from a template to show for a user, it is necessary for the user to have permission for all widgets. You can review the group and user permissions but by editing the appropriate group/user in User Management. Changes in user permissions for UCP widgets will not immediately show up in the user's UCP layout, it is necessary to rebuild their UCP layout from the template.

UCP supports importing and exporting templates using the Bulk Handler module. The exported csv data contains all settings for a single UCP template in JSON format.
UCP Template Export
The exported csv data contains template name , description, template_1_key, template_1_value, template_1_type, etc.
The CSV file direct edit is not recommended as the file contains lengthy json strings. Ensure the UCP template is set up as desired before exporting.

Template Import
It is expected that the admin will import an unmodified csv file which has been exported using the Bulk Handler module:
Replace existing is done based on the template name, if you have same template name already defined in your list of UCP Templates, then it will be replaced with newly imported data.
