# AWS::Cases::Template
<a name="aws-resource-cases-template"></a>

Creates a template in the Cases domain. This template is used to define the case object model (that is, to define what data can be captured on cases) in a Cases domain. A template must have a unique name within a domain, and it must reference existing field IDs and layout IDs. Additionally, multiple fields with same IDs are not allowed within the same Template. A template can be either Active or Inactive, as indicated by its status. Inactive templates cannot be used to create cases.

 Other template APIs are: 
+  [DeleteTemplate](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/APIReference/API_connect-cases_DeleteTemplate.html) 
+  [GetTemplate](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/connect/latest/APIReference/API_connect-cases_GetTemplate.html)
