# Activate Template Management for Field Service

You can activate the Template Management for Field Service plugin \(com.snc.fsm\_template\_management\) for Field Service Management if you have the admin role. The application includes demo data and installs related ServiceNow® Store applications and plugins if they are not already installed.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

Activation of Template Management for Field Service activates the Field Service Management \(com.snc.work\_management\) plugin if it is not already active.

The following items are installed with Field Service Template Management:

-   Tables
-   Script includes
-   Business roles

For more information, see [Template Management for Field Service components](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/field-service-management/template-management-components.md).

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **System Applications** > **All Available Applications** > **All**.

2.  Find the Template Management for Field Service plugin \(com.snc.fsm\_template\_management\) using the filter criteria and search bar.

    You can search for the plugin by its name or ID. If you cannot find a plugin, you might have to request it from ServiceNow personnel.

3.  Select **Install** to start the installation process.

    **Note:** When domain separation and delegated admin are enabled in an instance, the administrative user must be in the **global** domain. Otherwise, the following error appears: `Application installation is unavailable because another operation is running: Plugin Activation for <plugin name>.`

    You will see a message after installation is completed. For information about the components installed with a plugin, see [Find components installed with an application](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/platform-administration/find-components.md).
