Enabling Third-Party Contact Assignments in a Template

A third-party contact can be designated as a writer, reviewer, or assignee when creating a document or questionnaire. However, a document owner can assign third-party contacts to a document/questionnaire only after you enable that functionality in the template assigned to that document/questionnaire.

Important: Do not enable third-party contacts for a template used to create sensitive documents/questionnaires. This will help avoid document owners from accidentally or maliciously assigning third-party contacts to those documents/questionnaires.

  1. Click System Settings.
  2. Click Document Setup, and then click Templates.
  3. Do one of the following:

Note: If the Questionnaire Module is enabled in your PolicyTech system, click the Documents or Questionnaires tab before clicking New Template.

  1. In Template Setup, click Optional Settings.
  2. Select Enable Third-Party Accounts.
  1. (Optional) If this is a new template, finish setting up the template.
  2. Click Save and Close.
  3. Inform document owners that the template is available for assigning third-party accounts to a document/questionnaire.

Important: If you modified an existing template that has already been assigned to documents/questionnaires, document owners must reapply the template before they can assign third-party contacts. Refer document owners to Changing or Reapplying a Template for detailed instructions.
