Import and use a template

Validate an Ataytis Vega Studio template, assign Power BI fields to its placeholders, and create a working specification in a new report.

Supported template input

The import workflow expects a valid Ataytis Vega Studio template, normally saved with the .ataytisVegaStudio.json filename suffix. You can browse for a file, drag it into the import area, or paste template JSON or a compatible file from the clipboard.

Import step by step

  1. 1

    Open New specification

    From the visual, open the create/import workflow.

  2. 2

    Choose Existing template

    Select the import creation method rather than the blank Vega starter.

  3. 3

    Supply the template

    Browse, drag, or paste the template into the import area.

  4. 4

    Wait for validation

    The Studio validates that the JSON has the required template shape and supported metadata.

  5. 5

    Review template information

    Read the name, description, author, preview, and required dataset fields before assigning anything.

  6. 6

    Assign fields

    For each placeholder, choose a suitable Power BI column or measure from the Values field well. Match the expected type and the author's notes.

  7. 7

    Create the specification

    When all required placeholders are assigned, create the visual and inspect the resolved JSON.

  8. 8

    Test in the destination report

    Check formatting, interactions, filters, data volume, and responsive layout with the destination model.
