2. Building a template

A template consists of multiple entries, which together form the structure of the template. Each entry can also have a different data type depending on how you want the template to be structured.

1. Select Primary profession
Select the profession the template will primarily be used by. This helps Tandem to better understand the template and write notes in the appropriate style.

2. Add template name
Start by giving your template a unique name - no two templates can share the same name.

3. Add entry and provide entry name
Start building the template by Adding an entry. For each entry you also need to provide a name. Tandem uses the entry name to understand what information should appear under the entry when drafting a note using the template.
