Objectives
- Create a Questionnaire from a Contract template
Steps
App4Legal allows you to generate contracts based on your own templates by automating fields to fill out forms automatically.
To add a new questionnaire from a template you must follow some steps:
Create a template word Word document, that includes all your constant contract details, and distinguish the variables using special characters, for example, the ${..}. These variables will be filled out when adding a new contract from the system.

You can use App4Legal Word Add-on to create a template document. Learn more here. |
Add a new Template in the system.
Therefore, go to the System Settings, and choose Templates under the Contracts & Documents settings.
From this page, you can add new, edit, hide/show in Client Portal, or delete contract templates.
...
- Now start creating your questionnaire:

...
Each template can have multiple pages, groups, and variables. These are the variables that will change whenever a new contract is created from this template. |
You can easily add pages, groups, or variables from the plus sign next to each item.
Enter the title of the pages of the questionnaire, the page description if needed, and name the groups as well.
| Info |
|---|
...
Within each group, you can add multiple variables. |
The first variable will be the Date for example.
| Note |
|---|
...
The name should be written the same as in the document you uploaded. |
When adding a variable you need to specify:
- Name: Name of the variable
- Question: The question that will help the user to understand the variable field in the contract questionnaire
- Type: it could be either a System variable or a Document Variable
- Mapped-to Field / Field Type: link the type to one of the fields of the contact's metadata if it's a system variable, or specify the field type otherwise.
- Add a variable description and specify whether it is required.
| Info |

...
System variable means that it's mapped to one of the fields in the system, and document variable, means it could be single text, date, list, etc. |
| Note |

...
The Preview option allows you to preview your questionnaire before saving it so that you can have an idea about how it will look and perform further modifications if needed. |
Similarly, add the other variables.
