# Templated Dashboards

Templating feature can be enabled under dashboard settings, in the Features tab. The templating feature allows
you to create variables that can be used in your metric queries, series names and panel titles. Use this feature to
create generic dashboards that can quickly be changed to show graphs for different servers or metrics.
