Creating a Document Template

Start by navigating, using the side menu, to Administration > Setup > Document Templates.
From this screen, you can create folders to store templates, upload existing templates, modify existing templates, or create new templates.
To create a folder:
- Click the Create Folder icon at the top of the screen.
- Enter the name of the folder and hit enter on the keyboard to save.
- From here, right clicking on the folder will allow you to:
  - Rename
  - Move
  - Copy
  - Delete
  - Refresh
Once a folder is selected, the document template can be created.
To create a template:
- Click on “Create New DOCX” or “Create New XLSX”

- Merge Fields can now be added by either of two ways:
  - Double Click
  - Drag and Drop
- Merge Fields can also be searched for using the search bar, located at the top of the Merge Field list.
After you have completed your document template, you can save by:
- Selecting File at the top of the document template.
- Clicking Save As
- Giving the template a descriptive name.
The template is now saved, you can view or edit it again by double clicking the template.
- Note: If you cannot see your template after saving, try refreshing the screen by clicking the green Refresh button.

To access document categories, navigate to Administration > Lookups > Documents > Document Categories.
To create a new category:
- Click Add New
- Enter the Description
- Click Save
You can also edit or delete categories by selecting them and clicking the corresponding button on the bottom of the screen.

To access document packages, navigate to Administration > Lookups > Document > Document Packages
To create a new package:

Once editing the package, you can:
- Add New Components
