Document Templates can be created within Tradepointusing existing documents that may be adjusted depending on the client and the activity. Document templates can be used on their own to generate action or contact specific documents such as sales forms, welcome letters, or any questionnaires that are relevant to your sales/service process.

Document templates can also be used in relation to the Mail Merge tool to create a document that will them pull in the relevant address and contact name information when you go to create a general mailing.
