Level 1 templates provide a method of delineating between different types of Level 1 items. Each template that you create can have the following characteristics:

  • A unique Level 1 Workflow, which will trigger whenever a new item using this template type is added.
  • A unique Level 2 Workflow, which will trigger whenever a new item using this template type is added.
  • A set of forms that are to be associated with the Level 1 item.
  • The list of statuses that you wish to associate with the specific template.
  • An external Internet available web page that can be used to create new Level 1 items.
  • A set of custom fields.


Creating Level 1 Templates

You can create and modify Templates by clicking the Templates link on the Settings tab of your UTA.

Template Settings

Each template has the following settings:

  • Name - Display name for the template.
  • Restricted to - A single internal company that can use this template.
  • Contracts Workflow - A workflow connected to this template.
  • Activities Workflow - A workflow connected to Level 2 activities connected to a Level 1 item based on this template.
  • Description - A narrative description of the template.
  • Template Formula - One or more formulas or expressions associated with the template, which are automatically executed whenever a Level 1 item associated with this template is saved. (See Template / Type Formulas)
  • Associated Forms - Forms from the SmartSimple Web Forms application that you wish to associate with the template.


Associating Templates with Statuses

Not all Level 1 templates may require all the same statuses. Although the statuses are created globally, you are able to associate only the required statuses to each individual template.
