Click OK and the master will be created.

There are two records below the master name: subitems number and usages number.

If a user creates a master with subitems, the item created from this master will have the corresponding subitems as well. The subitems record indicates the number of subitems under a particular master.

The usages record shows how many times a particular master is assigned to other items or masters.

The Refresh button refreshes the window and the Standard Values command opens the template’s _Standard Values item for editing.
