Select a plan configuration when creating a task plan template

Use the Plan Configuration Picker to select a pre-defined plan configuration while creating a task plan template and before authoring your template. This ensures that the correct workflow, playbook, and record page settings are applied to the template.

Before you begin

Role required: sn_task_plan.admin, sn_task_plan.creator role

Before creating a task plan template, confirm that at least one plan configuration has been set up on your instance.

About this task

When you create a task plan template, the system may prompt you to select a plan configuration before the template record opens. This selection helps ensure that the template uses the correct workflow and authoring experience.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to All > Task Plan Templates and select New.

    The Plan Configuration Picker modal opens, displaying all available plan configurations.

    Note: The plan configuration picker appears only when there is an active entry in the sn_task_plan_config table.

  2. Review the listed plan configurations and their descriptions.

  3. Select the configuration that matches your intended workflow.

    If a configuration is selected, the corresponding field is populated and the associated authoring playbook is loaded, if defined. If no configuration is selected, the task plan template is created without a configuration.

  4. Select Create a Task Plan Template.

  5. Complete the template fields and select Save to save the record.
