# Create an Action Plan Template for Dealer Visits
Sales managers can create action plan templates to capture frequently performed tasks and to specify mandatory tasks. When you add tasks, the assessment indicator definitions related to a task are automatically added to the template. The template acts as a reusable framework because you can relate a template with multiple Visit records. For example, create an action plan template for quarterly front-office check-ins and add typical tasks, such as conducting a survey, upselling new vehicle accessories, and assessing ongoing promotions.
### Required Editions
Available in: Enterprise, Unlimited, and Developer Editions.
User Permissions Needed
To create action plans:
Partner Visit Management permission set
Create access on Action Plan Template
1. From the App Launcher, find and select **Action Plan Templates**, and then click **New**.
2. Enter a name and a description for the template.
3. For Target Object, select **Visit**.
4. For Action Plan Type, select **Assessment Execution**.
5. Click **Save**.
6. Click **New Generic Assessment Task**.
Important Assessment Task Definitions, Tasks, and Task Flows are not supported for partner visit management in Automotive Cloud. Only add generic assessment tasks to the action plan template.
7. Select **Is Required** if you want to make the task mandatory to perform.
8. Enter a value for Display Order.
Note The display order is the sequence to perform tasks in a visit. Each task gets a positive and unique value. When the action plan template is added to a visit, users assigned to the visit can see the tasks sequenced according to the display order. If the display order value isn’t entered, the tasks are sorted in alphabetical order. But if the display order is entered for only a few tasks, then the tasks with undefined display order are sorted in alphabetical order and appear at the top of the task list, followed by the defined tasks. If users create tasks while on a visit, then the newly created tasks are displayed at the end of the task list.
9. To add more tasks, click **New** on the header and click **Generic Assessment Task**.
10. Save your changes.
11. Click **Publish Template** to activate it.
