Clone a Library Template

If you want to use a Library Template as a starting point to create your own template, you can copy it. When you clone a Library Template, the template copy is not automatically updated. 

To clone a Library Template, navigate to Library > Library Templates.

Use the sort and filter features of the Library Template grid to find a template you want to use. Depending on your subscription level, you may not have access to all templates. Click the Clone button to create a copy of the Library Template that will be listed in your firm's templates under Manage > Templates.

Once you click the Clone button, an Edit Aero Template screen will open where you can edit the template and make it your own.

You can edit the following fields on this screen:

Category *Required	What kind of Aero template this is: Task, Meeting, Email, Other
Estimated Duration *Required	The estimated time the task should take. To change this, click on the clock icon or simply type in a new time. Note: time must be entered in this format: hh:mm
Set Days To Due Date	If there is a window of time to perform this task, specify the number of days in this window here. For example, if you are creating a template to reconcile accounts, you might want the start date to be the first of the month, but your staff actually has 7 days until the task is really due. The Days to Due Date would than be 7.
