> ⚠️ **Note**

> ⚠️ Config templates also offer the ability to generate a text-based configuration file to enable configuration of an undiscovered device or devices of the same type. This feature provides an alternative path to configuring bare metal devices instead of using NetMRI's Bare Metal Provisioning feature.

To create a new Job from an existing config template, do the following:

1. **Action** **Schedule** or **Run** **Now** from the menu. The **Job** **Wizard** appe> Macro (anchor)

ars, showing the *Fill Out Job Details* page.  
The **Fill** **Out** **Job** **Details** page differs based on whether you wish to immediately run the job (**Run** **Now**) or to schedule it for a later occasion.
2. Enter a **Name** and **Job** **Description** for the new job.
3. Choose the **Push** **Mode** option: **Line** **by** **Line**, **Bulk,** or **Text** **File**. This determines the method by which the config file is written to devices that are part of the job.  
For **Push** **Mode**, choosing **Line** **by** **Line** sets the template config sequence to be pushed to the device involved in the Job, one line at a time; pushed in **Bulk**, the entire configuration is staged in NetMRI and then downloaded to the device.  
(*Available* *only* *when* *you* *choose* *the* *Run Now* *menu* *option*.) Choosing the **Text** **File** option runs the template job and sends its output to a text file, which is uploaded to the management computer.
