Creating contract templates
This guide shows how to create contract templates in LAFT.
You can also use Letter Templates as contract templates. See instructions here (note that you will not be able to sign letter templates electronically for now). |
Go to the rental module. In the side menu on the left, click Miscellaneous > Contract templates:
Here you will find an overview of the contract templates that have been created on your site. Click on “New Template” in the top right corner.
Create a name for the new contract template and click “Create Contract Template”. When you have made changes to the template, remember to always click “Update Contract Template”. Once you have done this, you can click “Template Preview” to see how it will look with the changes you have made. We recommend that you use the V2 template, which is the latest in design.
At the top under “All sections” you will see the sections you have created yourself. Below you will see the fields that are already automatically entered into all contracts. The standard sections cannot be customized, as this information is extracted from the current rental property/tenancy.
Create your paragraph. Enter a title for the paragraph, and fill in the text that will appear in the paragraph. Then click “Create paragraph”.
Click on the information symbol (highlighted in green below) to see how you can retrieve information from the tenancy agreement and add it to the section. These fields can be automatically merged into the text when the contract is created on the tenancy agreement:

The section you have created will be placed at the top of the page, but you can easily change the order by dragging this symbol:

Any sections you create will appear below the standard sections in the contract itself, but above the signature fields.
Can't find all the variables you need for the contract template? It is also possible to use letter templates as contract templates. There are many more variables available. See instructions here . Note that you cannot currently sign letter templates electronically. |
