Document Templates can be removed completely or can be simply replaced with a new document. To begin working with Documents  follow these steps Navigation>Documents> Document Templates:

Making Edits in the Word Document 

To edit an existing Document Template, select Edit Template from the Options menu. In the flyout panel, select Open Document to launch the eScribe Document Editor.

Document Templates can be edited directly in the eScribe Document Editor which includes changes such as adding/removing approved Content Control boxes, formatting and spacing. Administrators will not need to download the word document to make edits.

Deactivating a Template

If a template is no longer needed, Administrators can deactivate it to prevent Contributors from selecting it. The template can be reinstated at any time. Deactivating a template only affects its availability going forward and does not impact documents that have already been created.

Creating a Closed Session Document Template

Document Templates for a Closed Session Meeting will often look very similar to an open session template, however the content being displayed from the Closed Session Template will only appear in the Closed Session portion of the meeting. A standard title will appear in Open Session to be displayed in the meeting, however Closed Session content such as Title and Description will be only be visible in the closed meeting portion.

In the image below, Closed Session Documents require the addition of two content tags that extract text captured and display in the closed session only.

In the image below of the completed report below, the two tagged areas for Closed will be extracted and displayed in closed. The remaining tags for fields such as Department and Sponsor, those will appear in open and closed meetings.
