CustomTemplate

Defines the custom layout template options used by the Print widget to generate the print page. While custom templates can be published from ArcGIS Pro to a portal, custom layout templates are defined in a portal, where they can be added, removed, or edited as necessary without having to republish the print service. There are a limited number of options available for customization.

The main benefit of this class is that it allows developers to give a name to a preferred format and layout and if there should be a Legend present or not, in a reusable way. This is what the UI looks like in a portal:
