Create a Template from a Running Order

If you have an NCS license for your Inception system, you can create running order templates from existing running orders. When you use a template to create a new running order, Inception copies the stories in the selected template into the new running order and places the new stories in the same positions as in the template. The new running order opens with the stories copied from the selected template and ready for you to edit.
