Templates
Create and manage reusable Document Request templates.
Templates
Templates are reusable Document Request definitions that specify what documents and information you need to collect from clients. Create once, reuse for multiple clients.
Templates Create New Template LibraryTemplate Structure

| Description | Explains the purpose (up to 1000 characters) |
| Documents | Document requests and signature fields (up to 50 per template) |
| Status | Draft, Active, or Default |

Creating Templates
Configuring Documents
For each document, configure:
- Name: What the client sees (e.g., "Bank Statement - Last 3 Months")
- Description: Instructions for the client
- Required: Whether the document must be completed
- File types: Accepted formats for document uploads

Cloning Templates
Duplicate an existing template:

- Modify as needed
- Save with a new name
Template-Level Documents
For signature documents, you can pre-configure documents at the template level:
Uploading Documents
- Add a signature document to your template
- Click Upload Document
- Select a PDF file (max 50MB)
- The document is validated and stored securely
Configuring Signature Fields
After uploading a document:
- Click Configure Fields
- Use drag-and-drop to place signature fields
- Set field type (Signature, Initials, Date, etc.)
- Mark fields as required or optional
- Save the configuration
Fields are automatically copied when creating requests from this template.
Best Practices
- Be specific - Use clear names like "Proof of Address (Utility Bill or Bank Statement)"
- Add descriptions - Help clients understand exactly what you need
- Group related documents - Place related documents together
- Set realistic requirements - Only mark documents as required if truly necessary
- Use the library - Start with industry templates and customize
Templates can be edited at any time. Changes only affect new Document Requests; existing requests keep their original configuration.
