In the Templates folder, a way of creating, storing, and using templates for creating new tasks, and assigning them to source documents, is provided. Templates do not include any document specific settings, that is, the following functions are not applicable:
- Reduce
- Loop and Distribute
- PDF Report from Source Document
This means that document-specific information is not included when copying a task and pasting it into a new or existing template. Also, templates cannot be executed.
A template is not assigned to any source document. A template that is copied to a source document will become a task. Another way of adding a task, using a template, is to select the Add Task Using Template option.
