- Template Basics
  A template for a marketing object type, such as a plan, program, or project, defines the information that your organization wants to capture about the object. Then, you use templates to create object instances. If you have the Financial Management module installed, an invoice template defines the information that your organization wants to capture in invoices.
- Adding or editing templates
  After you identify the template components that you need, you can create the template. You need to build components before assembling them in the template.
- Program and project templates
  Program and project templates have additional tabs that customize the object instances that are made from the template.
- About forms
  A form is a collection of attribute fields that gather information about an object.
- About attributes
  An attribute defines a piece of information that you want to gather from a user. For example, the information can be text, integers, dates, or a choice from a predefined list. In Unica Plan, you define attributes to collect these different types of information, and then place them on forms. Then, you can add or more forms to templates as tabs. When users create items, they select a template. Each attribute that is included in the template corresponds to a field or other user interface control on the tabs that collect information.
- About metrics
  Metrics measure the performance of an object and are always numeric. Typical metrics include financial metrics, such as cost and revenue, and performance metrics, such as the number of contacts and the number of responses in a particular marketing campaign.

  For organizations with Unica Plan users in multiple locales, you can translate the labels and text strings in the user interface for each locale.
