 //Plan Templates// are a powerful feature of Astroid that can greatly reduce the time spent in creating high quality treatment plans. In a simple sense, a //Plan Template// is just a starting point that can be used when creating new treatment plans for this or other patients. When a //Plan Template// is applied during new plan creation (see [[planning:userguide:tutorials:creating_a_plan|here]] for creating a new plan), all user specified plan parameters from the template are copied into the new plan. In essence you are applying the plan to a new set of images and structures, therefore it is important that structure names and other data are consistent in your //Patient Models// when using //Plan Templates//. //Plan Templates// are a powerful feature of Astroid that can greatly reduce the time spent in creating high quality treatment plans.

   * Keep in mind that a //Plan Template// can be created to any level of completion desired within the planning process. For example, a simple template could be created that adds only a few planning structures (e.g. rinds, expansions, etc) or a complex template could be saved that includes all plan data including the full optimization constraints and objectives. Different disease sites may lend themselves to different levels of detail in the //Plan Template// so users are encouraged to explore different options to determine what works best for their clinical workflow.   * Keep in mind that a //Plan Template// can be created to any level of completion desired within the planning process.
