# Create a task from a project task template

You can save a project task as a template and reuse it when creating a task.

## Before you begin

Role required: it\_project\_manager

You must have a template from an existing project task that has the required field values. See [Templates](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-administration/c_Templates.md) for more information on this platform feature.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Project** > **Tasks** > **All**.

2.  Select **New**.

3.  If the templates do not appear at the bottom, select the ellipsis \(\[Omitted image "gannt\_chart\_icon.png"\] Alt text: Ellipsis icon\) icon at the top of the form, and select **Toggle Template Bar**.

4.  Select the template link in the template bar at the bottom of the form.
