System Admins maintain the unit template categories available in the Unit Planners for each school in their Atlas system. Admins can add/remove the unit template categories from their school templates in the Unit Planner Template Editor.

- Free Text Box: Atlas admins can create these categories, and can edit the details.
- Standards (Outcomes) and Assessments: Atlas admins can't create these categories, and can't edit the details. Please contact us.
- Checklist: Atlas admins can't create this category, and can't edit the details. Please contact us.
- Complex Checklist: Atlas admins can't create this category, but they can edit the details via Admin > Admin Dashboard > Site Configuration. Please contact us.
