## Use Cases

### Move fields to a new template

Let's say you have a template called _Landing Page_ and would like to move a field to a new template called _Corporate Landing Page_. The new template will inherit from _Landing Page_. Following the wizard you would make these selections:

* Select the fields that no longer belong to the _Landing Page_ template. For example, you could have a **Corporate Tag Line** that should move up to a new template.

* Enter a new template name called _Corporate Landing Page_.

* Specify the parent location for the new template such as _Templates/User Defined_.

### Move fields into a base template

Let's say you have a template called _Corporate Landing Page_ and would like to move a field to another template called _Landing Page_. The template losing the field will inherit from _Landing Page_. Following the wizard you would make these selections:

* Select the fields that no longer belond to the _Corporate Landing Page_ template.

* Specify the existing base template such as _Templates/User Defined/Landing Page_.
