# Creating a Template

If the selected folder does not have a template, then this screen appears when you click Edit Template from the Account menu.

If no parent template exists, you will be asked whether you wish to create a new template:

- If you click Yes, all the property values and subscription information will be copied to the template for this folder, and you will be taken to the Edit Template screen.

- If you click No, you will be taken back to MetraCare's initial screen.

If a parent template exists, but you chose not to apply it to descendents, you are asked whether you wish to pre-populate the new template with information from the parent template:

- If you click Yes, all the property values and subscription information will be copied to the template for this folder.

- If you click No, you will begin editing a blank template.
