7 Managing Templates

A template defines a repeatable set of tasks required for a close period. It is used as a basis for creating schedules. You can create templates for different types of close periods, such as monthly or quarterly. You use templates to generate schedules for specific close periods.

Template tasks are not assigned to specific days on a calendar, but are defined using generic days, for example, day-3, day-2, day-1, day 0, based on close process activities. You apply the task flow defined in the template to calendar dates when you create schedules.

If you are a Close Administrator or Power User you can create, edit, delete, and have viewer rights to templates.
