If you have standard files that you need to send out over and over again, you can create enterprise templates of those documents, and apply on the same documents (when required) to quickly reuse all the workflow configurations. You can add recipients, form fields, initials, in-persons, signature type, signature position, signing sequence, configure reminders, certify document and much more in an enterprise template. These enterprise templates are available to all the enterprise users within your enterprise, during the document preparation mode, for the efficient and robust re-usability of workflow configurations defined in these templates. From here you can manage (Add, Import, Export, Clone, Edit, and Delete) the enterprise templates as required.
Login with your enterprise admin credentials.
Click "Configurations" in left menu and select "Templates" under Documents & Signing options in Enterprise Configurations section.
Click "Add template".
Add a document for this template. All the workflow related configurations will be done on this document.
Enable/disable "Read only" as required.
Enable/disable "Public" as required.
Configure certified signature preferences as required.
Add recipient(s) and placeholder(s) as required.
Configure special privileges for each recipient/ placeholder as required.
Click "Continue" to go to viewer screen.
Add data fields for the recipients as required.
Configure form filling settings for a PDF form

Only those enterprise templates are available to your enterprise users for usage that are marked as "Public". It is therefore recommended not to select the "Public" option, unless an enterprise template is fully configured. Similarly, you can un-select the "Public" option from an existing enterprise template to hide it from your enterprise users.
Login with your enterprise admin credentials.
Click "Configurations" in left menu and select "Templates" under Documents & Signing options in Enterprise Configurations section.
Select any template from the list and its detail will be displayed in the right panel.
At times you need to export the existing templates from your account to your local machine, either to save your account space or share them with others. The templates are exported in json format and can be easily imported later in any SigningHub account. This is the smartest way to reuse or share the same templates without going through any configuration efforts.

The workflow configurations within a read-only template cannot be modified during document preparation, except updating placeholders.
​To experience the exact settings, it is recommended to use the template (being created) on the same documents. The actual positions of configured signature/ initials/ in-person fields may alter, if this template is applied on different type or size of documents.
SigningHub will not allow you to delete an enterprise template if "Any" has been selected under "Allowed Templates" for a user role in the enterprise settings, and the enterprise template being deleted is the only allowed enterprise template for the user role.
Once an enterprise template has been deleted it will be removed from all the user roles under which it was allowed.
The document owner (and the shared folder collaborator, if any) can not update the level of assurance of a "Signature" or an "In-Person Signature" field, while the status of the document is, "In-Progress" or "Pending", where a read-only template has been applied.
If the "Set Document Access Authentication for all recipients" option is selected against the document owner's user role, the document owner will not be allowed to share the workflow until "Document Access Authentication" is set for all the recipient in the workflow.
If the "Set Document Signing Authentication for all recipients" option is selected against the document owner's user role, the document owner will not be allowed to share the workflow until "Document Signing Authentication" is set for all the recipient in the workflow.
