Choose which Doc Designer template a document uses

Find where to select a template on each type of document, and which template is used if you don't choose one.

Written by Heather Worthington

Each document you print or email is generated from a Doc Designer template. You choose the template on the document itself, and Unleashed fills in a default for you if you've set one. Choosing a different template only changes that document.

When you print or email the document, Unleashed creates a PDF using the template selected on that document.


Which template is used if you don't choose one

When you create a document, Unleashed fills in a template in this order:

  1. The default template on the supplier or customer record, if there is one. For example, a supplier's default Purchase Order template or a customer's default Invoice template.

  2. The default template you've set in Doc Designer for that transaction type. See Set a default Doc Designer template.

  3. The Unleashed Default template, if you haven't set a default.

📌Note: Setting or changing a default only affects documents you create afterwards. Existing documents keep their template unless you change it on the document.


Change the template on a transaction

You can change the template a transaction uses at any time, including after it is completed. This only updates that transaction and doesn't affect any others.

  1. Open the transaction you want to update.

  2. Use the Template drop-down menu to select your preferred template.

  3. Click Save, then click Print to check that the changes appear correctly.
