Which settings are available for a smart template?

In the smart template settings, you will be able to access the following settings:

• Enable as template
• Document content updater
• Version
• Advanced configuration

Enable as template 

The Enable as template toggle will enable you to activate or deactivate dynamics on a specific template. Once a document is enabled as a template, you will be able to access additional tabs in the Template Designer: 

• The Template tab will allow you to create the dynamic elements for your document. 
• The Form tab will allow you to create a response form for your document. 
• The Advanced tab will allow you to set generic settings and metadata for your document.

Document content updater

The Document content updater toggle will enable or disable the Update document button for end-users that will allow the update of the smart template after its generation.

Version 

The version drop-down would allow you to switch between the Dynamics versions available that may support a different feature set. 

Advanced configuration

The advanced configuration tab enables you to access the template and form settings in a JSON format.

• The Template tab contains metadata on the template in JSON format. Both in regards to standard and custom properties but also Templafy related metadata such as Dynamics version and Document content updater settings.
• The Form tab contains the form settings on the template, also in JSON format. This is specifically useful if you need to copy a form configuration from one template to another or perform bulk operations such as deleting, editing, or creating forms en masse.
