# Add a template
You can create a template for later use. Templates can be created for any table, and an unlimited number of templates can be created.
The template is identical to the normal record except that `is_template=true`.
## Add from side menu

4. The newly created template should be opened directly.
{% hint style="info" %}
In the form view, you can also set **Is Template** to `true` to make the newly created record a template.
{% endhint %}
