How an DataGuide End User Can Use the Document Template Editor
As a end-user for DataGuide, you can access DataGuide Forms through FieldFX Mobile or in the Salesforce Org > DataGuide.
With Document Templates, you can generate a PDF of the form’s output. With a PDF, customers can be fully aware that the job is done, and service was completed after the job is finished.
| Your admin must make the document template available to your user profile for you to use the form. |
Use Cases
A possible use case for document templates would be a site supervisor has conducted a safety audit. They want to sign off on audit and include their findings.
The admin creates a Document Template for a Job as a standard template. They add the completed Site Safety Checklist. When the Document Template is accessed, the Job template pulls in information from the selected Job and shows a preview of the Document Template to the user.
| The logged-in user’s language and locale will be used. |
Once signatures are captured, the Document Template is finalized.
