Choose the document type#
Know which document type you are designing and have a real sample record ready for the preview.
Build and preview a template#
- 1Open Document Templates and create or edit a template.
- 2Choose available content blocks and fields from the displayed list.
- 3Preview the result with sample or source data, then save.
- 4Set it as the default only after the preview is approved.
- 5Preview a long customer name, several line items, totals, and tax with sample data.
- 6Save the layout, then preview it again before setting it as the default.
If text overlaps or a field is missing, revise the layout before anyone sends it.
Make it the default when ready#
Check future generated documents against the approved template. Archived or older versions remain separate from the current default.
WARNING: Do not type guessed variable names or assume every source field is available. Use the variable catalog and a real preview to verify each block.
