# Adding New Process Template

Process templates help you to select the processes that are running on a device, convert each of them into individual templates and apply all of them across multiple devices.

To add a new process template,

1. Go to **Settings → Monitoring → Processes** and click **'Add'.**
2. **Device Name**: Select the device which runs the process/processes that needs to be converted into template(s).
3. **Protocol**: Select the relevant protocol to access the device.
4. Select the relevant credential from the drop-down by clicking on the **"Use Credential Library"** radio button or click on the **"Associated Credential"** option. Click on the **"Add Credential"** button, to add new credentials.
5. Click **Next**.
6. All the processes that are currently running on the device are listed along with their ID, Path and Arguments.

7. Select the required process/processes.
8. From here, you can either choose to just save the template, or immediately associate it to devices. To associate it to devices right away, click **'Save and Associate'.** Select the devices you wish to monitor in the next window, and click 'Save'.
9. Else, if you just want to save the process template for now, click **Save.**

The selected processes are now added and available as templates under **Settings → Monitors → Processes.**
