Templates

Templates are like custom product categories for organising related products into.

These can be either job specific e.g. a Hot Water Cylendar installation, a Pre Wire Fit Out or Pipe Out of a new house etc or product  specific e.g. a copper template, a cable template etc.

To create or edit your templates click on Templates under My Jobs & Customers.

This will take you to a page displaying your existing list of templates.

Under here you'll find two kinds of templates:

Or you can Create a New Template from inside the templates section itself.

To do this click on the Create Newbutton at the top of the page.

This will open a form where you need to enter a name for your new template e.g. Toilet Installation

Once you've entered a name for your template click the Save button and you'll be taken to a page where you can start adding items to your template.
