Templates in MOAS are designed to help you create consistent advice documents.
Creating a template

Document - documents are stand alone advice documents that are unique to the type of advice/client receiving advice.
Library - libraries can be linked to documents and are created by default when advice is created. These are designed to hold all general supporting information.
Once you make your selection a New template item will appear in the list. Click on this item and you are ready to edit.
