# Template - UDT Parameter

> <IUCard title="Template - UDT Parameter" link="https://www.inductiveuniversity.com/video/template-udt-parameter/7.9" />

## UDTs in Templates

User Defined Types (UDT) parameters are properties that you can bind the template components to. Since the UDT parameter is a Custom property that encapsulates the UDT tags and some meta properties you can access all this information through a custom property.

### To Add a Component to the Template and Bind it to Parts of UDT

1. Start with a blank template.
 
2. Add components to the template.
 
3. Create a **Custom** property on the template's Root Container, and make the Custom property's **Type** a **User Defined** type instead of a **Standard** data type and click **OK**.

4. Select a component on the template, in the component's **Property Editor**, click the binding icon next to the property that you want to influence. 
 
5. Select the **Property** binding and choose the tag from the UDT that you would like the binding to occur and and click **OK**.
