How to create multiple VM's from a template at once

I am a little new and a little lost. What I would like to use orchestrator for is to create multiple vms from a template at once. I would like each to have a different name ..i.e. vm1, vm2, vm3.. I would like them to be created on random datastores..datastore1 datastore2 datastore3. Is this possible? If, so any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Example- Template 1

Need 20 VM's cloned from template 1 with different UUID's and names

spread across 5 datastores

This would be a  loop, running an async workflow which clone's the VMs.  Of course, your loop will have to be able to select what DS to assign to the VMs as they are created.
