The Action Wizard is designed to help you through the process of creating templates and assigning templates to contracts.
Templates can be made available to contracts via the following:
▪Contract System Type level – all contracts that fall under the Contract System Type (ie. Machine) will have access to templates associated at Contract System Type level.
▪Contract Type level – all contracts with the same Contract Type will have access to templates associated at Contract Type level.
▪Contract level – individual contracts can have templates directly associated.
▪As Required – using the Contract List Action Wizard, the list of filtered contracts can be associated to templates and do not need to have the same contract level or System Type level when template restrictions do not prevent it.
* Template restrictions may prevent some associations from being applied.
|
Once the Action Wizard has finished, click Refresh from the Quick Access toolbar to see the changes.

The wizard moves through a series of steps to configure the various associations between contract type, action and contract template.
Add a template to a contract
To begin, Edit a contract and go to the Templates tab in the footer, choose the area to add the template to (ie. Consumable), then click Action Wizard.
The left-hand pane of the screen provides a hierarchical view of contract type and action associations, and can be changed to By Contract Type, By Action, or By Action Group.
Selecting an Action or Contract type will display a list of the associated templates in the body of the Project Template Rules screen to the right.

The Change the Action Template Setup screen is displayed.
