Procedure

  1. Click Resources > Resource Templates and then click Create New Template.
  2. Specify a name for the template.
  3. Optional: In the Teams fields, specify the access information for the new resource template.

    2. In the Create New Resource window, specify a description for the agent prototype.
    3. Optional: Specify a name pattern for the agents that the agent prototype represents. See Agents.
