Create a template

Looking to set up your docs using Front Office AI? Follow the below steps:


  1. Click the Templates tab of your organisation then click the Documents tab.
  2. Click the ACTIONS button to create a new template. You can opt to start from a blank templates or use an existing one. We will assume it is the first time you are creating a template.
  3. Provide information such as document name and description. You can also add additional notes and set the visibility as required.

 

Edit a template

Below, you'll find explanations for each of the tabs that appear after creating a template:

 

Draft mode

  • The Draft tab is where you enter text and edit template content.
  • Formatting options are visible above the template, including headings, font and bold.
  • The toolbar below the template title includes buttons to create, delete, preview and publish drafts.

 

Document fillers

  • The Fillers tab enables the document editor to create custom fields for users (internal and external) to complete.
  • Click ADD FILLER as required each time you need to assign a group of placeholders to a new user.
  • Click ADD PLACEHOLDER to create additional custom fields.
  • Front Office AI highlights the placeholders that have been added to the template in green.
  • Once all placeholders have been added return to the Draft tab to insert them into the template using the INSERT CONTENT button. This will prompt a drawer menu to open from the right hand side of the screen with all the placeholders available to insert into the draft.

 

Tracking changes

  • All document changes are tracked in real time and versioned.
  • Compare changes between template versions side by side from the COMPARISON tab.
  • Edit templates from previous versions using the dropdown menu provided.
  • Changes made to templates are updated automatically.


Collaborators

  • Click ADD COLLABORATOR and search for the user you want to invite. The user must be a member of your organisation to be added as a collaborator
  • Include a detailed message for the collaborator providing sufficient information for them to understand your invitation and its context. Click SUBMIT.
