Use a task template for multiple request templates

If you have tasks that are often repeated across multiple jobs, you can create a task template and reuse it in multiple request templates. You can also use it on a Facilities request to pull common and repeatable information into a request.

Before you begin

Role required: facilities_admin
Create a request template and an associated task template that contains the information you want to reuse.
Note: Checklist templates are a way to populate a checklist of tasks to be completed. Checklist templates are created on a Facilities request or on a Facilities task. After being created, they can be saved as a template and be reused. See Create a request with the facilities request form.

When you create subsequent request templates, you can select the task template from the Task Template field and save the file.
