# Provisioning Templates

> Define which Windows image, installation settings, and scripts a provisioning run uses, and link the template to an enrollment configuration.

Product: CapaOne — a separate CapaSystems product; do not apply this page to any other.

A provisioning template is a collection of settings that control the provisioning process: which
Windows image is installed, the Windows installation settings, and the scripts that run during
provisioning. Each template must be linked to an enrollment configuration, which dictates how the
device is set up in CapaOne after the operating system is installed.

Templates are managed under **Windows → Provisioning → Templates**.

## General

| Setting | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Name** | A short, descriptive name for the template. Required. |
| **Description** | Optional free-text description. |

## Image

You don't build or maintain OS images. Select the architecture, operating system, release, and
edition — CapaOne delivers a matching, up-to-date installation image. The same image works across
hardware models, because drivers are resolved per device during deployment.

| Setting | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| **Architecture** | The architecture(s) this template supports: **x64**, **ARM64**, or both. |
| **Operating System** | The Windows version to install. |
| **Release** | The release of the selected operating system. |
| **Edition** | The edition of the selected release. |
| **Display language** | The Windows display language. Must be a language included in the image. Maps to `<UILanguage>` in `unattend.xml`. |

## Provisioning scripts

Select one or more organization-defined scripts to run during device provisioning. Use scripts for
configuration that must happen during installation rather than after enrollment.

## Operating system configuration

These settings map to the Windows answer file (`unattend.xml`) used during installation.
