Save the templates in Cloud and Share them with your team and clients!
A key benefit of shared templates is their reusability and consistency. These templates allow development investments for one team to be reused and shared with another. This makes your work consistent and replicable across various teams and departments within your company, highlighting your company’s reliability.
By using G-Accon for Xero or G-Accon for QuickBooks “Save/Share template” functionality, you can safely save your templates in Cloud, re-use them, share with your team and clients, and have the opportunity to focus more on global business tasks. You can also use other team’s templates as the basis for your own templates because the system uniquely allows you to download various shared/saved templates and modify them.
Newly introduced Group and Domain licenses will allow you to share your templates within your group and organization in more efficient manner by selecting the "share with everyone" check box in the Load Saved Templates menu option. This feature is designed to save your time and increase the efficiency to your overall processes.
How to Save Template
To save the template in Cloud, you first need to actually create the template. You can make a template for query or for your report:
