# Configure a recovery strategy template

# Configure a recovery strategy template {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Brazil  
Updated September 10, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Configure a reusable recovery strategy template so business continuity planners can apply a pre-defined strategy to loss scenarios without re-entering the implementation details each time.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_bcm.admin, sn_bcm.program_manager, or sn_bcm.planner

## About this task

Recovery strategy templates capture the implementation profile of a strategy. This includes estimated time to implement, maximum duration of use, estimated % of operations achieved, and supporting comments. The same strategy can be applied to multiple loss scenarios across plans. When a plan is created from a plan template that references a recovery strategy template, the strategy and task template groups are pre-populated. This eliminates manual re-entry.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to WorkspacesBusiness Continuity WorkspacePlan configurationRecovery strategy templates.
2. Select New.
3. Enter a Name and Description for the template.
4. In the Implementation Details section, enter Estimated time to implement, Maximum duration of use, and Estimated % of operations achieved.
5. **Optional:** Add Comments that planners should see when they apply this strategy.
6. **Optional:** On the Task template groups and Task templates related lists, add the groups and templates that should be applied with this recovery strategy.  
   The tasks from these groups and templates are created when the recovery strategy template is applied to a loss scenario. For field-level details, see [Recovery strategy template form](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/G9ow7zr2u5ltjUWpqnkvHA "Use the Recovery strategy template form to define a reusable implementation profile that planners can apply to loss scenarios in business continuity plans.").
7. Select Save.  
   For more information on the fields, see [Recovery strategy template form](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/G9ow7zr2u5ltjUWpqnkvHA "Use the Recovery strategy template form to define a reusable implementation profile that planners can apply to loss scenarios in business continuity plans.").

## Result

The recovery strategy template is now available to plan templates and to ad-hoc selection on a loss scenario through the Add recovery strategy template control on the Recovery strategies tab.
