## About this task

A task template can have static and dynamic mappings. In static mappings, the values of fields are individually specified and fixed. The following procedure is for creating a static template mapping. For information on dynamic templates, see [Create dynamic template mapping](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/employee-service-management/universal-task/ut-create-dynamic-tmplt-map.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Universal task** > **Task templates** > **Create new**.

2.  On the form, fill in the fields.

    For more information on form fields and descriptions, see [Universal Task template form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/employee-service-management/universal-task/ut-task-template-form.md)
