Create Template Dialog

This dialog contains the following fields:

Displays the Component Name. This could be a printer, network component, or something entirely different (for example, Borrowed Equipment or Office Materials).

After the template has been executed, the name you have entered in this field appears under the related computer’s Inventory/Additional folder.
