How Can I Organize Document Templates?

Updated over a week ago

🧭 Steps to Organize Document Templates

  1. Go to Document Templates

    • Navigate to Settings → Templates & Files → Document Templates.

  2. View Template Tabs

    • You’ll see two tabs at the top:

      • Organization Templates – Templates created or customized by your property.

      • Event Temple Standard Templates – Pre-built templates provided by Event Temple.

    • Use these tabs to keep your custom templates separate from system defaults.

  3. Search or Filter Templates

    • Use the search bar at the top to quickly locate a specific document by name.

    • Click Add Filter to narrow results by:

      • Document Type (e.g., Contract, Proposal, Banquet Event Order)

      • Owner (who created or manages the template)

      • Permission Level

  4. Use Columns to Sort

    • Click on the column headers (Title, Permission, Owner, Document Type) to sort templates alphabetically or by category.

    • You can also click the Columns button to hide or display specific columns.

  5. Group by Document Type

    • Each template is labeled with its Document Type (e.g., Contract, BEO, Proposal).

    • Use these types to organize templates logically based on their purpose.

  6. Archive Old Templates

    • To remove clutter without deleting files, click the Archive (box icon) on the right-hand side of a template.

    • Archived templates can be viewed anytime by checking “Show Archived.”

  7. Rename or Clone for Variations

    • Use the Edit or Clone buttons to create versions by region, language, or client type (e.g., “Contract – Corporate” or “BEO – German”).


💡 Tips

  • Keep naming consistent — include version or purpose in the title (e.g., Contract – 2025 Update).

  • Use archiving instead of deleting to maintain version history.

  • Regularly review and remove outdated templates to keep your workspace organized.
