Choosing the Right Template

Consider these factors when selecting a template:

Document purpose
Match the template to your end goal: formal report, quick notes, client communication, or internal documentation.

Required structure
Some templates offer more rigid structure (Meeting Report), while others are flexible (Notes). Choose based on your needs.

Audience
Formal templates like Compte-rendu work well for client-facing documents. Simpler templates suffice for internal notes.

Dictation complexity
If dictating complex content with specific punctuation needs, use the Dictation with Punctuation template.

Organizing Your Template Library

As your template collection grows:

Use descriptive names
Name templates clearly: "Client Consultation Report" instead of "Report 1."

Create template categories
Develop templates for different practice areas or document types:

  • Litigation templates

  • Transactional templates

  • Client communication templates

  • Internal documentation templates

Regularly review and update
Periodically assess which templates you use most and refine them based on experience.

Remove unused templates
Delete templates that no longer serve your workflow to keep your library organized.
