# Build and Apply Job Templates for Repeat Work

> Create reusable material pull lists as Job Templates and apply them to any job. Save time and standardise material lists across your team.

Job Templates are reusable material pull lists for repeat job types. Build a template once and apply it to any job so the crew always pulls the same items the same way. This page covers how administrators create templates and how anyone applies them from a job.

## Creating a template (Admin)

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Job Templates">
    Go to **Job Templates** in the sidebar and click **Add Job Template**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name the template">
    Enter a name and an optional description.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add material lines">
    For each line, select the location, the material, and optionally a quantity. Click **+** to add more lines.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save the template">
    Click **Save**. The template is now available on every job.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Quantity is optional at template level by design. Leave it blank where the amount varies by job and the crew will enter the real number in the field.
</Note>

## Applying a template

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Pull Material">
    On any job, click **Pull Material**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the template">
    Open the **Select Template** dropdown and choose your template. Every line pre-fills automatically.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Adjust quantities">
    Change the quantities to what is actually going out, then submit the pull.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Templates quietly standardise your material lists. Building one per repeat job type means everyone pulls the same items the same way, which makes your job costing comparisons meaningful.
