# Choosing an SP connection template

The **Connection Template** tab allows you to choose a quick-connection template for new connection if your installation includes an optional PingFederate SaaS Connector.

## About this task

|   |                                                                                                       |

|   | When you select a connection template, many connection settings are configured for you automatically. |

## Steps

1. Go to **Applications > Integration > SP Connections**.

2. Click **Create Connection**.

3. To use a template, select **Use a template for this connection**, then choose the template and enter additional information as required.

   |   |                                                                                                                                                                                          |
   | - | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   |   | After you click **Next**, you cannot return to this window and make a different selection. If you intended to use a different template or no template, you must create a new connection. |
