# Create a template subtask

Create template subtasks to add granularity to the transfer order line tasks. For example, before preparing for shipment, for a computer, you may want to create sub tasks for imaging the computer or adding additional software.

## Before you begin

Role required: asset\_system\_admin or inventory\_user

## About this task

The template subtasks that you create are stored in the Template Subtask \[alm\_template\_subtask\] table. When a transfer order line task is created and if subtasks are defined for that transfer order line task, then the subtasks are automatically added to the transfer order line task.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Inventory** > **Transfer Order Lines** > **Template Subtasks**.

2.  Click **New** and fill out the form fields \(as shown in the table\).

    |Field|Description|
    |-----|-----------|
    |Short Description|A brief description of the subtask.|
    |Subtask name|A name for the subtask.|
    |Task|The task that this subtask is associated to.|

3.  Click **Submit**.
