With the i-doit add-on "Documents", free text, text elements and contents of the documentation can be combined in templates to create complete documents. In this way, operating manuals, handover protocols, emergency plans and much more can be conveniently created and exported. These overviews make it easy to find, use and share the contents of the documentation.

The documentation of the add-on is divided into the following sections:

The preparation describes how to install and update the add-on. Also, all the configuration options are described in detail, so that the functions of the add-on can be used optimally.

Document templates are the central element on the basis of which documents are created. Here we describe how to create, edit and reuse these templates. All parameters of the templates, the possibilities of the WYSIWYG editor are discussed.

The integration of dynamic contents of the documentation is done with placeholders. All available placeholders and how to use them are described in detail here.

Created templates can be used to create documents for objects in the documentation. This section provides a description that goes into detail about creating, updating and exporting these documents.
