Creating Template

From ContactsLaw Documentation

In the newest version of the ContacsLaw Application, the starting point of creating templates is you must have a workgroup or you may select an existing workgroup. Templates in ContactsLaw are available globally or they can be refined to a particular workgroup.

The reason why a document template is being allocated to a workgroup is because within the workgroup there are customizations such as the parties that are available and there are some document templates which only make sense within the scope of particular workgroups since it's a way of organizing the documents, but also allowing further customization.
