Customization tips
- Lock adapters early -- switching later is supported, but you reconcile migrations.
- Keep RBAC names stable until tests and seed data are updated.
- Use template dashboards as the KPI source of truth; each vertical ships different charts.
- i18n -- message files are structured for clean additions across eight locales.
Explore each template's dedicated doc and the marketing templates gallery for visuals and route maps.
Start from the template closest to your business model, then remove unused modules rather than merging multiple templates.
