Create a template for any service table to automatically populate fields on a form.
Creating templates for common use cases enables agents to create universal tasks faster and
ensures uniformity of field values.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_uni_task.template_admin

## 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://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/W2wNgBmKKLzM1~C_3cKdEw "Create dynamic templates to map fields on a Universal task form to corresponding fields on the parent table form. Dynamic templates help agents to map parent table fields to Universal task fields.").

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllUniversal taskTask templatesCreate new.
2. On the form, fill in the fields.  
   For more information on form fields and descriptions, see [Universal Task template form](https://servicenow-prod.fluidtopics.net/svd5YZK0d1QOXlzU51~~5w "Use the Universal Task template form to create a Universal Task template.")
3. **Optional:** Select Schedule to create a scheduled job to create records based on this template.  
   For detailed instructions, see [Create records based on
   a template](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/access?context=t_ScheduleATemplate&version=xanadu&pubname=xanadu-platform-administration&ft:locale=en-US).
