Template Editor

This article explains what the Template Editor is. Following up you will find 2 more articles explaining the possible uses of Templates on Leo and will guide you through these processes:

  • Duplicating, editing, and updating an existing template
  • Creating a template from scratch


What is a Template?

A Template on Leo is a framework that you build in the Template Editor, enabling you to create forms or questionnaires to gather information from Leo users.

There are many possible uses for templates. For example, you could create a set of templates for employee end of year reviews, or an attestation template that links to your firm’s compliance manual and policies.

You can edit existing templates designed by Leo, or you can create bespoke templates to fit more specific requirements.

Once users have completed the questions on a template, the information that they have submitted generates a report. The completed report is published as a PDF.

Technical skills

Editing or creating templates involves some of the more complicated processes on Leo. Setting up each element of a template takes time, and technical know-how is an advantage. If a member of your team has notable IT skills, they may be the ideal person to edit or create the templates that you need.

Getting help

If you are creating or editing a Template and find that you need assistance beyond this article, please note the stage of the process that you’ve got to and raise a ticket with the Leo support team.

    Default Leo Templates

    Leo already has a selection of default/pro forma templates (Global templates) for some essential business needs and processes – such as Attestations. To see a list of existing templates, go to Settings and click on Templates, where the Leo default templates (as well as any templates created specifically for your firm) are indexed on the landing page.

    You can edit an existing Leo template to fit your firm’s tone and brand more precisely. To do this, you need to create a duplicate of the Leo template and edit the duplicate.

    NOTE: The Report Templates section of the settings is where we can create and edit report templates. We may want to create a new report template on the Leo to gather information on employee end of year reviews, or we may want to amend the language given to us in a current template to make it more in line with the tone of our firm.
