# Templates Templates allow you to define standard data sets or inputs for a given record in an Object Type. For instance, if you have a standard template for a work order that includes details about the tasks to be completed, that can be defaulted using a template. Once created, templates are available to you next to the + button when creating a new record.

Templates Appear on the Record Creation Screen
