Document templates

How to manage document templates.

You've no doubt found yourself having to draft a contract or other document when a person makes a booking in your space or purchases a product. Instead of having to write this document every time you need it, you can use the Document Templates in Nexudus.

This feature lets you create documents with dynamic data that is directly lifted from the data in your Nexudus account. For example, you could set up a contract for booking an events room that includes fields such as the member's name, date, time and total booking price. Using a template, you can quickly export the document and amend it in your preferred text editor.‌

The Nexudus platform comes with a fully-featured Microsoft Word editor that will enable you to produce pixel-perfect documents based on the data of your proposals, bookings or customers.

Built-in Word Editor

You can locate the Document Templates section in the CRM module.
