# Create a task template by saving a form

Save a populated Universal Task form as a template. This is an alternative method for creating a task template.

## Before you begin

Make sure you have a Universal Task form that you want to use. If you need to create a form, see [Create a universal task](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/employee-service-management/universal-task/create-unitask.md).

Role required: sn\_uni\_task.template\_admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to a Universal Task form.

2.  Complete the form as it should appear when a user applies the template.

3.  Right-click the form header and click **Save**.

4.  Click **Create Universal Task Template**.

    The task template with the filled forms appears.

5.  In the **Name**, enter a descriptive name for the template.

6.  Set the **Parent table** field to a service-specific table.

    If you choose not to select any table, then the configuration will apply to all tables.

7.  Make additional changes as required.

8.  Click **Submit**.
