# Associate a matter template with an intake form

Associate a matter template with an intake form that can be used when promoting a legal request to a legal matter to include predefined data.

## Before you begin

**Note:** The Matter Template related list is available on the [Intake Form](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/legal-request-management/associate-categories-practice-area.md) form only when you have selected **Matter** or **Request and Matter** as the **Type** value.

Role required: sn\_lg\_ops.legal\_config or sn\_lg\_matter.matter\_config

## About this task

When [an existing matter template is updated and published](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/legal-matter-management/create-legal-matter-template.md), the intake form reflects the latest version of the associated matter template.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Legal Administration** > **Practice Areas**.

2.  Open a practice area.

3.  Open the intake form from the Intake Form related list to which you want to associate a matter template.

4.  In the Matter Template related list, associate an existing matter template or create and associate a new matter template.
