Tenant Overview - Generic Database - Document Templates
Tenant Overview access is reserved for security providers only to assist them in servicing their clients.
Testing providers can now create and manage document templates (such as Statement of Works or Proposals) at tenant overview level.
Creating document templates here can then be used across all tenants within your instance to produce documents from completed questionnaires.
The platform also enables you to create tenant specific document templates if a client has a particular format to follow.
Creating Document Templates
For those users that have Tenant Overview and Generic Database access, you will see a menu option under Generic Database named Document Templates.
Once selected you will be shown a list of all previously created templates, if any, and the ability to select the + New Template button.
The platform will ask you for a name for your template.
Once a name is provided, the platform will then load up the Document Template editor, as shown below:
