Clicking on a card for a template will show you the details for that template. For example, if we are to click on the "Bill of Lading Credential", we will get a detail view of the contents.&#x20;

### Issue from the Template

The template detail view will provide a description of what the credential is used for, and provides an example view with placeholder values. You can click on the "JSON" or "XLSX" buttons in order fto download file versions of the template that can be entered, and then uploaded as batches later. You can click on the "+ Create Credential" button in the top right to issue the credential from the web application.
