    The Task window is displayed.

  5. Select the template you want to add.

    Tip: Type part of the template name into the search box to filter the template list.

  6. If required, change the Originator ID and Allocated To ID using the drop-down lists.
  7. Click OK button.

    Note: If you add a template as a sub-task, a confirmation dialog is displayed warning that the template's root task is being added as a sub-task. Click Yes button. The template will be added as a sub-task to the selected task, not as the root task.
