Why watch: ## Captured source text (untrusted evidence) > Saved Note Templates let your team create reusable, pre-written notes for Work Orders and Preventive Maintenance tasks. Instead of typing the same update over and over — for example, "Parts on order, ETA 3–5 business days" — engineers and admins can select a saved template and apply it to a note in one click, on both the Dashboard and the mobile app. > Templates can be scoped to a specific issue type (e.g., HVAC, Plumbing) for Work Orders or a specific maintenance type for Preventive Maintenance tasks, or made available for all types, and they can be created at the site level or the network level. > > Managing Saved Note Templates > > Network-Level vs. Site-Level Templates > > Using a Saved Note on a Work Order — Dashboard > > Using a Saved Note on a Work Order — Mobile > > Using a Saved Note on a Maintenance Task —Dashboard > > Using a Saved Note on a Maintenance Task — Mobile > > Visibility and Permissions > > Managing Saved Note Templates > Saved Note Templates are managed from a dedicated setup page. > > From the Dashboard, go to Work Order Setup. > > Select Saved Notes from the submenu. > > The Saved Notes page displays all existing templates in alphabetical order, along with options to edit or delete each one. > > From this page you can also create a new template.
