The Data Management – Templates page is part of the main Preferences dialog that is accessed by clicking the  control in the upper-right corner of the workspace then selecting the Templates entry under the Data Management folder. 

When signed into a managed content server, a green icon () appears next to the name of the page in the folder region to denote that the page is under the server's control.
