Templates

Templates allow users to capture custom meta data for the files they insert into DocuBin. Whereas one user may find it helpful to create a Template called "Audio" with labels called Duration, Bit rate, and Channels, a law firm or a marketing department would have wildly different criteria to collect.

To create a Template:

  1. Open DocuBin Settings...
  2. Select Templates. Click the plus button [+] to create a new template.
  3. Give your template a name.
  4. Now, click the plus button [+] next to Labels to create as many labels as you want your template to have. Options for each label are as follows:
    • Order: the order of your labels
    • Type: select from Text, Number, Date, Time, and Timestamp
    • Label: the name of your label
    • Active: only labels marked as active will be added to a Document

To delete a template or label:

  • To delete a template select the menu option 'Delete Template' from the 'File' menu. A template can be deleted if it has not been added to any Documents.
  • To delete a label click into the label name and press the minus button [-] next to 'Labels'. A label can be deleted if no values have been entered for it on the 'Document Info' layout.
