Note

If a file with the selected template name exists in the Office folder, the existing template is replaced.

If several files with the selected template name exist in the Office folder, all existing templates are replaced and as the result there will be only one template in the target folder.

The rule mentioned above concerns all type of templates: Corporate Templates, Master Templates, Office Templates draft, Office Templates.

Note

In rare cases due to Google Propagation Lag the status (circle - red, yellow, green) can not be immediately updated. If you copy the template and see that status is not updated, refresh the page or check that document is copied in Google Drive - by clicking the GDrive icon. The status will be updated as soon as Google sends the info that the document was copied.

Validating Placeholders in Document Templates

The system can automatically validate the placeholders and conditions in document templates and indicate the found issues.

Validation of placeholders and conditions in document templates is possible when the document template markers are shown as ‘green’ or ‘yellow’. If the document template is shown as ‘red’, you cannot initiate the placeholder and condition validation in such document templates.

To validate placeholders and conditions in the document template, click the Validate Placeholders icon.

The system will validate the following:

1. The used placeholders and conditions exist and can be replaced with their actual values from the database. If a placeholder or a condition is missing, the system will return a corresponding error.
2. The specified placeholders and conditions are of the correct format, as follows:
   • $PlaceholderName (NOT $PlaceholderName$).
   • #ConditionName (NOT #ConditionName#).
   • If the format is not correct, the system will return a corresponding message with the list of failed placeholders and conditions.
3. The system checks that placeholders and conditions can be parsed correctly within the internal document structure. For example, if the placeholder is separated from the ‘$’ symbol, such placeholder will not be parsed properly. The corresponding error will be displayed.

Manage Letter Templates

Manage Letter Templates section consists of two tabs: System Letters and Job Letters. System letters are sorted in Templates folder on Google Drive. Job Letters are sorted in Job Docs Templates folders on Google Drive.

The way of managing System Letters and Job Letters is relatively the same.
