Copying a client's template as a master

Once you have completed your first client, and want to use the same layout for others, do the following:

Open Draftworx, log in and open the Template in Frameworks:

Go to Working Trial Balance and clear it (remember this is the trial balance from your first client)



Save and close. This will now be available as a master template to use for new clients.


Delete
