    • Template Name – Enter the name of the template.
    • Template Description – Enter a description of the template.
    • Applicable To – Select Work Request, Campaign Brief, and Task Briefs to provide and build a better structure around how teams collaboratively plan and prioritize work.

      Some fields (such as Attachments, Start Date, End Date) are not applicable for tasks or campaigns templates because this information is captured when you create a task or campaign.

      This feature enables collaboration between multiple users in campaigns and tasks and lets them fill-in required pieces of information, or input answers that are limited within the provided choices of the templated briefs.

    • Form builder – Lets you create customized forms that can be used for work requests, campaign briefs, and task briefs.  
      • Helper Text – Click to enter a public description to the form that can be an instruction or sub-heading that displays as a tooltip whenever you select the form for a work request, campaign brief, or task brief.  
      • Add Text – Enter details that are best depicted in sentences.

Create smart forms using Add Logic

Add Logic applies only for cases where the fields have multiple choice answers, and the logic can be set according to that.

  1. Click Add Logic to create and configure multiple logics for the inputs made using Fields and Labels. If the customized field is a survey or inquiry with multiple answer options, you can add logic to that specific field.
