Add New Template 6 Click OK to save the new template in the registry. Naming Conventions When you add a template to the registry, you need to assign a name and number to the template. Once in the list on the Templates tab, the template is sorted by number, and you need to be able to recognize the contents by its name. Naming conventions are especially important if multiple users are sharing a registry. Make the name intuitive enough that all users can tell what information the template contains without having to preview it. To rename a template, simply click the Rename button and enter a new name in the field provided. You can also change the order in which templates appear in the list by changing the template number.
