Contracts, Proposals, & Documents Overview

Leap offers the ability to create configurable documents for your company. There are several different document types. Contracts and Proposals are the default document types already defined in Leap. You can also define your own document types (such as Work Orders, Production Documents) in App Settings > Custom Options. Each of these document types are created and edited in the same way. Additionally, each of these document types can have different sending rules. For example you may want contracts and proposals written back to the CRM and emailed to the customer. Conversely, you may want work orders written back to the CRM, but not emailed to the customer. This section outlines the steps for creating and editing all document types.

Adding a Document

Select the Documents section from the left-hand navigation bar. To add a Contract, click Add New and select either From Scratch, Leap Template, or Public Template. Leap offers a number of prebuilt templates to help you get started. To edit a document hover the mouse over the desired document and choose from one of the four icons.

Name	Icon	Description
Edit		Edit a document
Copy		Make a duplicate copy of the document
Delete		Delete the document
Publish		Publish the document to the public library to share with others

Editing a Document

The image below displays the user interface for contract editing based off of a template created from scratch. From this screen, you can expand the Document Tree using the arrow on the left side of the contract editor while you can expand the Cell Tool Drawer using the arrow on the right side of the contract editor.

File Menu

The file menu contains the general template settings such as the category, name, and the included office(s) and state(s) of the template. This is also where you save any changes made while working on the template.

	Allows you to save as new copy instead of overwriting the document.
	The Category the contract will be grouped under (windows, doors, etc.). Note: These appear in alphabetical order.
	Name of the document that displays on the iPad.
	The states that the document is available in. Leap will filter the documents based on which state is entered into the customer address inside of the app.

Page Menu

The page menu gives you generic page settings including margins, page type etc.

Icon	Description
	You can choose from two different page types in Leap: Default Most commonly used document in Leap. Use this type of page if your document will require any kind of input from the user including signatures. PDF Use this type of page when you want to add an already made PDF document as a template. These pages will not be editable to the user and only added as additional pages to the final document created. This is good for pages such as terms and conditions that do not require any changes from the user.
	Allows you to specify your contract page size.
	Allows you to upload a custom watermark to your document or to use your watermark that has been uploaded under App Settings > Watermark.
