# CreateTemplateAlias
<a name="create-template-alias"></a>

Use the `CreateTemplateAlias` operation to create a template alias for a template. To use this operation, you need the ID of the template that you want to create an alias for. You can use the `ListTemplates` operation to list all templates and their corresponding template IDs.

Following is an example AWS CLI command for this operation.

------
#### [ AWS CLI ]

```
aws quicksight create-template-alias 
    --aws-account-id AWSACCOUNTID 
    --template-id TEMPLATEID 
    --alias-name ALIAS 
    --template-version-number VERSION
```

You can also make this command using a CLI skeleton file with the following command. For more information about CLI skeleton files, see [Use CLI skeleton files](cli-skeletons.md).

```
aws quicksight create-template-alias 
    --cli-input-json file://createtemplatealias.json
```
