title: Basics: how to create templates with Template Project Plugin in Jenkins?
body: <p>I'm missing something very basic.  I have Jenkins 1.607 and recently installed Template Project Plugin 1.5.1 but don't see a way to create templates.  This is what I see, when I select New Job:</p>

  <p>There is Workflow Template above, but no Project Template.  I'm not sure what I should be looking for...</p>
  
  <p>Searching online I found the following (<a href="http://mark.gg/2013/05/03/jenkins-and-templates/" rel="noreferrer">http://mark.gg/2013/05/03/jenkins-and-templates/</a>):</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"To use the template plugin, you create a job that will have modules - source code management (SCM), builders, publishers - that will be used by other projects."</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>However, following instructions from the above page, Jenkins creates a regular job - I don't see a way to specify modules.  Here is the SCM section in my job that should become a template:</p>

  <p><strong>New Edit: ==>></strong> I have several jobs with SCM section defined.  Below is a newly created, Freestyle job where I want to use the SCM from an already defined job, but there is no such choice:</p>

  <p>For the record, here is a snapshot of installed template plugins:</p>

  <p>Appreciate any pointers on how to "create a job that will have modules".</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> upgraded Jenkins to the latest 1.631 - same problem.</p>
