Use a template to create a page based on a pre-defined page template. A page template can help you create pages faster and keep pages consistent within an experience. Page templates may include components, data resources, and
a layout.
This video shows you how to perform the following procedure.

## Before you begin

Role required: ui_builder_admin

## About this task

Select a page template when creating a page in your experience. After creating a page from a template, you can customize the page to your needs. Page templates include controllers that can be used with component presets. See [Bind data to UI Builder pages using controllers (advanced feature)](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/vUcCQFUFKEqxLdTSoa~1ng#controllers "Controllers simplify the linking of data and event logic to enable component presets in UI Builder.") for more information.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllNow Experience FrameworkUI Builder.
2. Open an experience to work in or create an experience by selecting CreateExperience.  
   See [Configure how users interact with your applications in UI Builder](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/xRTj74jSaNpx1gbYEFN~zw "Learn what an experience is in UI Builder. Understand what an experience contains.") for more information on creating experiences.
3. Select the Create new page in the center of the screen.
4. Hover over the template you want to use and select Use template.  
5. Enter a unique name for the page in the Name field.
6. Specify a path for your page in the Path field. UI Builder generates a default path based on the name that you provided in the previous step.  
   A default path is added based on your page name. You can also create your own path. The path is required and must be unique. The path can include digits (0-9), letters (A-Z, a-z), and a few special characters
   (`"-"`, `"."`, `"_"`, `"~"`), with the words separated by a forward slash or hyphen. The URL preview shows the path of your page.

   Note:  
   The application scope defaults to the scope that the user is in within the ServiceNow AI Platform®. For more information about the application scope, see [Learn about security and roles](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/66_ynOEMLJObfkIxMz83TQ "Set up the security and roles for your UI Builder instance.").
7. Select a URL page type in the Type drop-down list. UI Builder automatically assigns a page type based on the template you select, but you can change this value if needed.  
   URL page types help you categorize and find important pages in the Experience view. Pages with a type other than None are filtered more effectively in the Experience view.
8. Select Continue.
9. Review the page parameters included in the template.  
   For more information about required and optional page parameters, see [Adding Page Parameters](https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/learn/courses/washingtondc/app_store_learnv2_uibuilder_washingtondc_ui_builder/app_store_learnv2_uibuilder_washingtondc_create_pages_in_ui_builder/UCP_AddingPageParameters_washingtondc) in the ServiceNow Developer website.
10. Select Looks good.
11. Enter a name for the page variant.  
    The first variant you create is named Default by default.
12. Add one or more audiences for this page.  
    If an audience you need is not listed, you can choose the Open audiences in platform link to create one.
13. **Optional:** Declare conditions for when to display the page (this variant) by either using the provided dropdown menus or writing an encoded query string.  
    For more information on writing encoded queries, see [Encoded query strings](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_EncodedQueryStrings&version=australia&pubname=australia-platform-user-interface&ft:locale=en-US).
14. Select Create to create your page from template.  
    The page you created displays in the Page section of your experience. Select Editor to start adding components to your page. For more information, see [Customize UI Builder pages using components](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/mrfQSAnSnETSUpsAmld7yA "Learn what a component is in UI Builder. Also, see how components work within UI Builder.").
