    • Give it a name and a naming format.
    • Click Save.
  3. To use a template, select it from the dropdown. Fill out the form with the user details and click Create User.

Share user templates

You can store the templates at a network location so multiple users can use the same templates.

  1. Click Location.
  2. Enter the UNC path to the shared templates folder, for example \\server\share\templates.
