## About this task

The XmlTemplate component also provides methods to work with the templates. To expose the methods, see [View the XmlTemplate methods](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/Z0a5rJK~jVvYrJz4BqSu6Q "After configuring the XmlTemplate connector, you can expose its methods.").

3. Click to expand the Global Objects node.
4. Right-click XmlTemplate.
5. Click Configure.
6. Under the TEMPLATES section, click the add templates icon (![Add templates icon.]()).
7. Click the template added.  
   A new template is by default named in the Template\<number\> format. You can rename it from the Name field in the PROPERTIES section on the XML TEMPLATE DESIGNER window.
8. To select an existing PDF or XML document, in the XML/PDF File field, click the Load XML or PDF File icon (![Load XML or PDF File icon.]()).
9. Select the XML or PDF file from the local drive.  
   The preview displays the document data under corresponding XML tags.
10. To add a field to the file, right-click the required XML tag.
11. Click one of the following field options.  
    * Text
    * Text Array
    * Table
    * XPath
    {#configure-xml-template__ul_jtj_bs3_vrb}  
    You've successfully updated the template by adding fields.
12. **Optional:** In the Name field of the PROPERTIES section, provide a custom name to the template you added.
13. **Optional:** Repeat the steps to add more fields.
14. Close the XML TEMPLATE DESIGNER window.
