Use Mobile Card Builder to create a card template to use for cards in
your mobile screens.

## Before you begin

For more information about the delegated developer role, see [Delegated development and deployment](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=c_DelegatedDevelopment&version=australia&pubname=australia-application-development&ft:locale=en-US).

## About this task

Note:  
Use these steps to create a new card template from scratch, and then associate the new card template to an existing screen. Card templates can only be applied to screens created in Quebec of later releases using mobile card views.

2. In the open screen pop-up, select Create blank template button in the upper right corner.  
   The Template properties pop-up window displays.
3. In the Name field, enter a name for your card template.
4. In the Short description field, enter a description of your card template.  
   Use your short description to indicate the type of record best suited to your card template, for example, incidents, or user records.
5. Select Save.  
   The Mobile Card Builder opens, displaying an empty mobile card.
6. Add elements to your card template using the card builder interface.
