Templates
Overview
The Template feature allows the selection of Sections , Categories and Line Items for a contract type. A template is built to meet the specification of the contract.
This screen can be accessed from the Menu bar by navigating to Administration – Templates.
Contract Template
A Contract Template is a predefined contract format, including all the services and merchandise that might be selected for a contract of that type. It also allows you to define default values for the contract in areas such as sales type, transaction type and lead source. The building blocks of a Template are Section, Category, and Line Item. Sections are the primary divisions of a contract. Sections contain categories; categories contain line items.
Building a Contract Template is simply the process of selecting all the sections, categories, and line items and determining the order in which they will print on a contract. An Option determines which line items will be automatically selected (checked) for a new contract. An option may include contract-level discounts.
To place a contract on a case, a user must select a Template and an Option. An option can only be used by facility locations which have been granted access.
