Creating and Applying Program Templates
You can save any program you create as a reusable program template. The template retains many of the planning details from the program such as the program flow, related campaigns, activity plans, documents, and other details. After you create a program template, you can apply the template to new programs. You can also share the template with other employees in your organization. Program templates also include child campaign templates for each of the campaigns in the design. For more information about campaign templates, see Creating and Applying Campaign Templates. To save a program as a program template
- Navigate to the Programs screen.
- In the Programs list, click a program to use as a template.
- In the Program form, click the menu button, and choose Save As Template.
This menu option is active only if your administrator has given you permission to use this action (using the Marketing access groups).
