There are two categories of templates in Doorways. Report templates and Letter templates. Letter templates always need a household reference in order to be generated. Reports can be generated with no references to a specific household.
NOTE: Default Templates Cannot be Edited. In order to make edits to a default template, you must download the default template from Doorways, make edits in Microsoft Word, and Upload the new template with a new name. For information on edits, see Creating a New Template.
