# Create a Workplace task template

A Task template simplifies the process of creating tasks in Workplace Case Management by populating fields automatically.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn\_wsd\_case.admin or sn\_wsd\_case.manager

## About this task

Create a task template for use when creating a workplace service.

**Note:** Administrators may use task assignment rules to control the automatic assignment of workplace tasks as long as the task template is not already assigning a person or group to the task. For more information on assignment rules, see [Define assignment rules](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-administration/c_DefineAssignmentRules.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Workplace Case Management** > **Workplace Case Management - Setup** > **Task templates**.

2.  Create a template or modify an existing template.

    -   If you are creating a template, click **New**.
    -   If you are modifying an existing template, open that template.
    For information about the template form fields, see [Create a template](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-administration/t_CreateATemplateUsingTheTmplForm.md).

3.  In the **Table** field, select the **Workplace Task \[sn\_wsd\_core\_workplace\_task\]** table.

4.  Click **Submit**.


## Result

The task template is created. You can use this template for Workplace services.
