Create a template from an agreement

Create a library template from a previously sent agreement.

Overview

Often a user will compose an agreement and take the time to carefully apply fields during the creation process. If the agreement is well designed, and the sender wants to preserve that agreement design as a library template, there is an action on the Manage page to Create a Template and preserve that effort as a template for future use.

  • In progress, Draft and Completed agreements may all be used to create a template.
  • Waiting for you, Canceled and Expired agreements can not be used to create a template. The action isn't available.
  • One agreement can create multiple templates. 
  • The template creation process allows the user to change the template name.
  • The template creation process allows the user to set the template parameters for the template type and who can access the template.
  • The template creation process imports the fields as they were designed on the original agreement and allows for the user to edit them freely.
  • Additional files can be added.
