With DocBoss, you have access to both a templates feature to save commonly used templates for future use, along with our popular compilations feature which enables you to create submittals with a few clicks of your mouse.

You can also use both features together to create source documents. Here’s how:

Step 1: Upload your Template as a Compilation Cover Page.

For instructions on how to upload a template, see our article here.

Step 3: Set your Cover Page selection in Main.

For the PDF version – choose any cover page you’d like to use for this project – this will be added to the pdf of the data sheet you create. For the CSV/XLS version – select your Document Cover Page that you added above – this will provide you an excel version of the data sheet. Be sure to choose “All Files” to Create Excel cover pages for.Snag_100b37e0.png

Step 4: Add your Code, and set TYPE to “Compilation”

On the Code List,  set the Type for the related code to “Compilation”.

Be sure to select your template, and set the level – in this example the level is “Product Group”, you may want to use “Tag” or another field.
