To create a Template, select the components that are to be a part of the template, and then
click the "Create Template" () button in the Operate Palette (See NiFi User Interface for more information on the Operate Palette).
Clicking this button without selecting anything will create a Template that contains all of the contents of the current Process Group. This means that creating a Template with nothing selected while on the Root Process Group will create a single Template that contains the entire flow.
After clicking this button, the user is prompted to provide a name and an optional description for the template. Each template must have a unique name. After entering the name and optional description, clicking the "Create" button will generate the template and notify the user that the template was successfully created, or provide an appropriate error message if unable to create the template for some reason.
