# Set up several maintenance journal batches

If you need several maintenance journals of a certain type, create several maintenance journal batches for a maintenance journal template.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Maintenance Journal Templates**, and then choose the related link.
2. On the **Maintenance Journal Templates** page, select the line containing the template for which you want to set up batches.
3. On the **Navigate** tab, in the **Template** group, choose **Batches**.
4. Fill in the first empty line to create a new maintenance journal batch. Fill in the **Name** and **Description** fields and other fields if necessary.
5. Close the page.

Numbers have a special function in journal names. If a journal template name or journal batch name contains a number, the number automatically advances by one each time the journal is posted. For example, if HH1 is entered in the **Name** field, the journal name changes to HH2 after the journal named HH1 has been posted.
