Use templates to ease the task of writing recurring notes such as daily reports or meeting minutes.

Templates are shared with your team, which can help reduce the routine task for everyone. 

 

Create new template

  1. Click “Settings” on the drop down menu.

  4. Name the template, set the destination group, then click “Create.” The template will be shared with your team, so give it a name that’s easily identifiable. 

  5. Once created, the template will show up on the template management screen. You can edit and delete templates here.

Working with template variables 

Use template variables to automatically embed dates and names. See below for examples.

%{year} 
The year the note was written (example: 2019)

%{month}
The month the note was written (example: 2)

%{day}
The day the note was written (example: 15)

%{me}
The author’s username (example: Kibe-san)

%{real_name}
The author’s real name (example: Kibe)

 

*Note: template variables can only be used for the folder name and title of the note.
