Templates are predefined documents that contain commonly entered information from which new documents of that type can be created. They save time by reducing user input to only the data required for a specific activity.
There are two ways of creating templates from the Job Bag:
- Job details and tasks template.
This will create a template with the Job details along with tasks that have been added to the Job.
- Users that have been assigned to these tasks will not be pulled through when the template is applied
- The Client name, Product, and Job status will not be stored.
- Tasks template:
This will create a template for tasks that have been added to the Job.
- Users that have been assigned to these tasks will not be pulled through when the template is applied.
- If you have parent/child tasks, these will form part of the template and will be applied as is.
- If notes were added to tasks they will form part of the template.
Below are steps to show you how to:
