Introduction to templates
Standardize your knowledge base by creating templates such as a simple FAQ-style article, step-by-step guides, How-To, Release notes, and a lot more. Your team can simply choose from the predefined templates and start creating their articles from there - saving them time.
Template parameters
The following details the information and behaviours defined within a template:
- Template Name: A descriptive name that easily identifies the template's purpose.
- Company Name and Tax Identification Number (NIF): These details will be displayed on the evidence document associated with the signature process.
- Language Selection: The language in which the sent items and the documentary evidence will be generated. The document can be generated in two languages if needed.
- Default Senders for SMS and Emails: The designated senders of SMS and emails during the signature process. These can be preconfigured to ensure consistency.
- Signature Expiration: The duration for which the documents will remain available for signing after they are sent. This ensures a specific time frame for completing the signature process.
- Brand Image: The logo and the primary colour will be displayed in the emails and signature page, maintaining consistent branding.
- User Identification: can be achieved by sending a one-time code or using a code the user already knows.
- Initial Communication with Signatories: The mode of communication (email or SMS) used for the initial interaction with signatories.
- Reminders: Automatic reminders (via emails or SMS) that signatories will receive to prompt them to complete the signing process within the specified time frame.
- Notifications: Emails or SMS notifications are sent to different recipients whenever there is a change in the status of the signature process, such as when a user successfully signs a document.
- Other parameters for advanced use of the platform.
All these parameters have been described in detail under the section How to create a new template.

Creating templates
While not difficult, creating a template can be a relatively lengthy process due to the numerous configuration options. For this reason, there is a dedicated article specifically for creating templates.
Duplicating templates
The Duplicate Templates button provides a convenient way to create new templates based on existing ones.
Sending
The Send button offers a direct pathway to the manual document-sending process, bypassing the initial template selection step
