Pipeline Templates

The PCR Pipeline allows an admin user to add multiple Pipeline Templates to their database which can be customized with different work flows (steps). These Templates can be applied to new Positions moving forward – you cannot apply a new template to a previously created position.

Creating a Template

From the Pipeline Setup screen, do the following:

1. Click Add Template
2. Enter a Template Name
3. Check Primary Template if this is the template you will use most often
4. If you create multiple Templates; moving forward you will be prompted to select a Template to use when you create a new Position Record. If you have only created one Custom Template, it will automatically be applied.

Copy a Template

If you would like to use an existing Template as a starting point for a new Template simply push the Copy option next to it. This will create a new duplicated Template which you can then add to following the directions below.

Deleting a Template

If you have no use further use for a template that has been created (Or the PCR Pipeline Template), choose the Delete option to the right of the Template Name. You will be prompted to confirm you want to delete the template. Choose OK to continue.

Once this has been done, you will no longer have that template available to select when creating a new Position moving forward. Any Positions that already use that Pipeline Template will not be affected.

At this point the Pipeline Template will still show up when running reports, activity searches, etc. when you no longer need it to appear in those areas simply click Deleted Templates from the lower left corner of the Pipeline Setup screen. Here you will have two options:

• Restore: The Pipeline Template will return to the dropdown selection when creating new Positions and can be used moving forward (as if it was never deleted)
• Remove From Pickers: Will completely remove the Template from all areas of the database (If the Pipeline Template has been used, it can be restored at any time. If it has not been used it will be permanently deleted).
