How to create a template?

Setting up a template

Updated over a week ago

Users with Onboard access are able to create new Templates on the system by navigating to the “Templates” tab. A list of all Templates accessible on that Profile will be displayed on this screen.

To create a new Template, click on the “Add new template” button located at the top of the screen. You will be taken to the Build a template page. From here, you can either start with a blank template by providing a name and clicking "Next" or upload .docx file(s) by clicking the Upload file(s) module.

The Template can be saved at any stage using the “Save” button in the top right-hand side of the screen. Clicking ‘Save’ creates a minor save of the template. Each save creates multiple layers of the template which are stored as different versions. For a minor save, the version moves a decimal number up (0.1 to 0.2) which will show at the top of the template editor, opposite the name of the template. Each version of the document will be stored in the ‘History’ area of the platform.

If you have a MS Word document you would like to use as the base for a Template and you want to know how to import it, you can check this article.
