# Field templates

You can create one or more field templates to make common selection of metadata fields more efficient. For example, you want a specific set of metadata to be included when you export the list of data items within any workbook to CSV and you want to include a different set of metadata when you export a list of items on hold.

Field templates can be used in Manage and in Analyze.
