Hi @Claudia_Ramos , welcome to the forum 👋

Good question! Unfortunately, currently, [it is not possible to define Dashboards in Templates 2.0](https://forum.asana.com/t/project-templates-v2-what-we-gain-what-we-lose/165154).

The best workaround I use is to use a project as a ‘template’ instead of a using an actual template. You can setup the Dashboard in this project so that once you [duplicate the project](https://asana.com/guide/help/projects/basics#gl-actions), make sure you have checked the ‘Dashboard’ option so that it copies over to the new project you set up.  
I understand this is not super ideal but it works for most cases.

💡 Ideally you would want this ‘template’ project to have unassigned tasks so they don’t always appear in people’s My Tasks view (which was an issue with Templates 1.0)
