To create a client template, go to the `Client Templates` left menu item. This initial screen shows you a list of currently defined templates.

A _client template_ will have similar tabs to regular clients. You'll be able to define <<_protocol-mappers, protocol mappers>>
and <<_client_scope, scope>> which can be inherited by other clients.

Having a client inherit from a template is as simple as choosing the template from the `Client Template` drop down list on either the
`Add Client` or client `Settings` tab. You will see the `Mappers` and `Scope` tabs get additional switches which allow you
to turn on or off inheriting from the parent template.

Future versions of client templating may get more inheritable configuration options, but for now, that's all there is to talk about.
