Like what would you like? For my team (418) we have only about 4 things we ever look at from a Dashboard perspective, plus the user bytes. For us starting from a template would take more time because we'd delete 80% of what was on there. Plus you can change the outputs to any number of different kind of indicators (graphs, charts, displays, meters, etc...) so modifying a template would cause you to have to reposition everything to make things fit. If you want a "templatized" dashboard I'm sure we can get you one, but I think you'll be mostly customizing your dashboard anyway.

I'm hoping we can make a stand-alone executable when we're done, so we can publish it to multiple (student, mentor, ...) laptops. I really don't want to install all these tool packages on every computer we use.

Unfortunately the Application Builder isn't built into the Full Development System, only the Professional Development System. Believe it or not, even if you did build an executable, you still have to install about 70MB of packages to make everything work (LabVIEW runtime engine, VISA runtime, DataSocket runtime, etc...). Of course at that point you would have "dead code", and would have to then distribute changes back to all the machines. We really do prefer you to have LabVIEW installed on your computer, but depending on what you truly need you can cut down on the installation footprint by only installing the core components (LabVIEW, NI-VISA, etc...).
