    About this task

    Task plan templates include conditions that determine when the template applies.
    Note:
    As part of creating a task plan template, you can select a target record. If you select a target record, the task plan template is applied when a case or task matching the task plan condition is created.

    After creating a task plan template, you can create the template items, such as case tasks, work order tasks, and child cases. Template items can also include conditions that determine when a template item should be created as well as attachments.

    You can also clone a task plan template.

    Procedure

    1. Navigate to All > Task Plan Templates > All Task Plan Templates.
    2. Select New.
      A Task Plan Template form opens in a new tab. The template is active and is in the Draft state.
    3. Fill in the fields on the Task Plan Template form.
      1. If there are task plan template configurations created, select one from the Task plan template configuration field.
        The task plan template configuration pre-fills the Short description and Target record field. For more information about task plan template confgurations, see Create a task plan template configuration.
      2. Provide a Name and Short description for the task plan template.
      3. Optional: The Target record identifies the table that the task plan template is applied to.
      For more information about these fields, see Task Plan Template form.
    4. Select Submit.
      The system saves the task plan template record and adds the Template items tab to the form. Use the Template Items tab to define the tasks such as case tasks or work orders that you want to be generated when the task plan template is applied.

    What to do next
