Using SSMS Templates
Templates provide a framework for the creation of database objects in SSMS. They are essentially boilerplate files that help generate scripts for common database objects. They can speed up the development of these scripts and help enforce consistency in the generation of the underlying database objects.
The Template Browser is a component window available in SSMS that can be launched by selecting Template Browser from the View menu.
