You can start with the orange +VM button on any screen or from a template in the Apps library.
If you started from the +VM button, select a VDC and VApp, and then a template. Users with the required privileges can create VDCs and VApps as part of the process.

If you started from a template, select a hypervisor (if required), VM just by clicking the new + Add VM button on any screen.
The floating orange + Add VM button is in the bottom right corner of every screen. And users can also start in the template catalog (Apps library view) with a new option on the Options menu of each VM template.
