# Base Task Templates

Keyfax provides a facility to create Tasks – Notes, Mail Merge Letters, Emails and SMS. When adding a template to a Task, there are a number of ‘base task templates’ to choose from, which could form the basis of your template. 

Typically, this might be a **letterhead** or an **email signature**, or maybe you are creating a Note which can contain any data you might wish to return to the host/back-office system.

Click the '**Advanced**' menu option then the '**Task Templates**' button:

The left hand menu displays all the available templates that can be used as the basis for new Tasks.
