''Request Templates'' allow you to pre-define Request information that can be dropped into the Request form by using the apply templates icon when entering a Request or via the QuickAction menu. The Request Template uses the same form definition as the Analyst Request form and any information specified in the Template will populate the same fields when applied. Any blank fields in the Template will not overwrite fields in the Request.

A new template is saved with a Default Template name such as ''Template X''. To rename the Template, click the Edit Button ([[File:Pencil.png|20px]]) in the manage Request Templates screen. The Templates are very useful for common Requests that are logged several times daily. This will expedite the call logging process when Templates are used to pre-define the Request Type, Problem Description and Solution fields.
