Chapitres :
-
Introduction to Template Creation
As a member of the Honor of a Times Channel, you have the option to create a template for your team's approval requests. This feature allows for efficient management of requests by providing predefined templates or the ability to create one from scratch. -
Choosing a Template
To start, click on 'New Template.' You will have two options: - Create a template directly from an existing one. - Select from thousands of predefined templates provided by the team, which include common requests such as gift applications or verification letters. If none of the offered templates meet your needs, you can choose to create one from scratch. -
Configuring the Template
Once you select or create a template, you need to configure it. Begin by giving your template a clear and explicit name, selecting a category, and adding a description if necessary. Click 'Next' to proceed. -
Designing the Layout
In this step, you will design the layout of the template. The layout functions similarly to a form in the forms application. After completing the layout, click 'Next' to continue. -
Setting Up the Workflow
Next, you will configure the workflow that your template will follow. If file attachments are required, specify the necessary files, such as receipts. You can also designate an author for validation, for example, your supervisor must validate the request before it moves to the service manager for final approval. It is possible to configure multiple approvals at the same level, where only one approval is needed to advance to the next stage. -
Finalizing the Template
After configuring the workflow, click on 'Preview' to review your template. If you are satisfied with the layout and settings, you can click 'Publish' to finalize the template.

Implementing a Multi-Level Approval Process
A company wants to implement a multi-level approval process for project proposals. By configuring the workflow in the template, they can ensure that proposals are reviewed by both a supervisor and a service manager.
Using Predefined Requests for Efficiency
An HR team uses predefined requests for common applications like leave requests. This saves time and ensures that all necessary information is included without starting from scratch.
