Create a site from a template

 

Click the site name in the top navigation bar and select Manage templates:

Find the template to use in the list of templates, then click More actions and Create site:

This enables you to create a new site using the selected template.

Within the Create site from template screen, you will have access to the following fields:

Consider adding the templates to a category to enable you to find and organise your templates. Click Add to add a new category.

  • Name - The name of the new site
  • Template - This is the template you are using to create your new site
  • Category - Select one or more purposes for the site. Only internal site administrators can edit this field. 
  • Site owner - This shows the owner, or owners, of the site. By default, this is the user who created the site
  • Description - The description is shown to all users with site access when they hover over the site name on the list of sites in the Dashboard

  • Landing page - Select which page you want the site to load first
  • Start date - The start date can be used to track when a site was put into use. The start date is set by default to the date the site was created but it can be changed if needed. This date is purely for reference
  • End date - The end date can be used to track when a site is considered to be no longer in use, even if the site remains available. This date is purely for reference
  • Client number - If you always intend to use the site for the same client, consider entering the client's number
  • Matter number - If you always intend to use the site for the same matter, consider entering the matter number
  • Logo - Consider adding a logo if you want to brand this template for use with the same client
  • Admin notes - Add any notes for admin users
