Create a new license template

Overview

Create a license template for your use and make it public so other libraries can use it. There are two ways to create a license template:

1. Create a new license template.
2. Clone a template as "Private."

Create a template

To create a template, refer to a copy of the license from the vendor (licensor) and encode its terms into License Manager using the following steps:

1. Expand Templates and click Create a Template.
2. Select the License Level. Options include:
   1. Collection
   2. Title
3. Click Continue.
4. Fill out the template fields. 
5. Click Save.

 Note:  Collections can only appear on Collection Level Licenses and Titles can only appear on Title Level Licenses.  If you change Levels when cloning a license or building a license from a template, the content will be removed. For example, if you clone a Collection Level License into a new Title Level License, the Collections from the original license will not be copied over into the Title Level License clone. Other license details, such as terms, will carry over.
