The Accountability Template section is used to establish the identifying characteristics of an accountability template in the BlackBerry AtHoc system.

1. In the navigation bar, click Account > Accountability Templates.
2. On the Accountability Templates screen, do one of the following:
   • Click New to open the New Accountability Template screen.
   • Select an out-of-the box template.
3. In the Accountability Template section, in the Name field, enter a meaningful name for the template to help operators identify it. For example, "Account for People Post-Emergency." The Name and Description display only in the BlackBerry AtHoc management system. They are not displayed to end users.
4. Optionally, in the Description field, provide details about the purpose or content of the accountability template. For example, “Start this event when you need to determine the location and safety status of all your personnel following an emergency.” This description is not seen by end users. It is visible to operators only in the BlackBerry AtHoc management system.
5. Select a folder from the Folder pull-down list.
