Before you start
Template-based creation keeps records consistent. It gives every new document the right structure before approvals, signatures, or retention controls come into play.
- Confirm you are using the right employee and document context.
- Choose the governed template rather than starting from a blank draft.
- Check the core metadata early so routing decisions remain accurate.
Follow these steps
- Open the document creation flow and select the appropriate template.
- Attach the correct employee, department, or workflow context to the draft.
- Review the prefilled content and complete any missing record details.
- Save the draft only when it is structurally ready for review or further editing.
Success checks
