Livespace

The document templates implemented in Livespace can help you to automatically create similar documents. Using pre-defined templates of Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx) or PowerPoint files (.pptx) completed with appropriate fields, you can quickly generate ready contracts, offers, sales statements and pro form invoices.

By default, the available templates concern deals and this is the only tab where this new feature is implemented. However, if you want to use templates on the profiles of persons or companies, you can also add your own templates and define their usability.

Managing document templates requires administrator permissions.
