  2. From the New Template screen enter the following:
    • Name:  Template Name
    • Description: Additional information to help identify your Template
    • Is Production Job Template:  Tick to designate this as a bill of materials (BoM) template for use with WorkGuru production jobs.
    • Tasks:  Search and Add Tasks and adjust Quantity and Cost to suit the Template.  Templates will apply with the configured Qty when added to a Quote or Project.
    • Products:  Search and Add Products and adjust Quantity and Cost to suit the Template.  Templates will apply with the configured Qty when added to a Quote or Project.
  3. Save when complete.
