Templates are how you manage your recurring tasks within XBert. A Template allows you to create a set of instructions that can be set repeatedly.

Adding a Schedule allows you to apply a Template to any of your Clients, at any recurring frequency.

  1. Create a Template - go to the Automation Page.

  2. Select + Add Template on the right.

  3. The Template details field will open up.

  4. Template Information is across the top which shows the created / last modified information.

  5. Step Number - If you have a task that you need to split across multiple steps, this will partner with the Group Name and show up as e.g. BAS Step 1 and BAS Step 2. This is useful if you want the tasks to be created at the same time, but have different steps. These are both OPTIONAL.

  6. Task Title is required and will be the name that displays on the Work list items and the task tile.

  7. Resolve Link - You can link to a website. The link will be the same on every task. If you want links that are specific for clients, then add Notes.

  8. The Description will appear on all tasks as an overall description. Enter it in the text editor field, you can format using the editing tools as well as adding links in this section.

  9. Processes - All templates must sit under one of the existing processes, select a process from the drop-down list.
