# Creating Program Templates
## Program templates help you streamline program creation by setting up standardized structures you can reuse across clients. Follow the steps below to create and organize your own custom program templates.
#### Before You Begin
⚠️ **User Permissions**
Depending on your organizational setup, only certain users may have access to the **Settings.**
👉 [Click here to review user privileges](https://help.hirasmus.com/knowledge/user-privileges?hsLang=en) and ensure the correct users have access to Program Templates.
💡 **Optimization Tip**
For the best experience when creating templates, it’s recommended (but not required) to have the following already created:
- [Treatment Areas](https://help.hirasmus.com/knowledge/create-treatment-areas?hsLang=en)
- [Program Tags](https://help.hirasmus.com/knowledge/program-tags?hsLang=en)
- [Program Data Fields](https://help.hirasmus.com/knowledge/program-data-fields?hsLang=en)
These elements will make building templates easier and more consistent.

#### Steps to Create a Program Template
1. Navigate to **\[Settings\]** on the menu bar and click **\[Programs\].** Select **\[Program Templates\]**
2. Select Create Program Template.
3. Choose the New Client or Staff Program Template type you would like to set up.
4. In the new program setup, give your template a Title (e.g., *Behavior Reduction Frequency Template*).
5. Select \[Add tag...\] and choose the appropriate tag for the program type (e.g., *Behavior Reduction, Skill Acquisition, etc.*).
6\. If you’ve created Custom Program Data Fields, scroll to the bottom of the page and select \[Manage Fields\].
- From here, only select the custom fields that apply to this template type. 
7\. Confirm the \[**Measurement**\] type is correct.
8\. (Optional) Select the appropriate **\[Mastery Workflow\].**
9\. You can preset a treatment area for program templates specific to this type.
1. - If you leave it blank, make sure only the necessary program data fields are attached.
10\. Click the \[**Instructions**\] tab
11\. Add details to the Program Data Fields as needed.
11\. Add any additional information into the **\[Instructions\]** section as needed.
12\. Select the **\[Targets\]** tab
13\. Enter targets and the target status if applicable. 
14\. Select the **\[Data Recording\]** tab.
15\. Select the appropriate **\[Prompt Level Template\]**.
💡 **Pro Tip:** For frequency or duration behavior reduction templates, preset the setting to automatically record “0” if no behaviors occur during a session.
16\. Select **\[Edit Graph Settings\]** to adjust the preferred data view if applicable.
- For the Frequency Program Type, the graph will default to \[**Count**\] on the y-axis
17\. Select **\[Save\]**.
18\. Repeat as needed for additional program templates.
💡 Consider creating a program template for each frequently used program type to ensure that all the necessary building blocks are in place when a clinician builds a program for a learner!
Your program template is now available for quick use when building new programs.
