The feature create file from template allows you to create a office document (e.g EXCEL or Word) based on your company templates and fill it with information from your PIRS document or correspondence. Should you e.g. need to create a cover sheet for your PIRS document this feature can create it automatically based on the meta information maintained in your PIRS document.
In order to create a file based on your company template, the template needs to be added within PIRS administration. To add new templates please contact your project manager or PIRS support.
