You can create a separate template for each audience, such as a general contractor, an owner, or your internal team. Each audience then gets only the information it needs. --- ### #### Who uses this feature - Administrators and managers - Primarily benefits Commercial Construction business types - Applies to all trades #### Feature configuration - Account configuration is required to use this feature. Please contact [Technical Support](http://go.servicetitan.com/ask) for details. ## Things to know - After a template is saved and published, you can rename it, but you can't change its template type. - Several components let you choose whether the PDF shows the foreman's original entry or the AI version. The AI version is the default. - Only published templates are available to use. Templates saved as drafts don't appear when you download a PDF. ## Best practices - Before you build templates, list who receives your daily log PDFs and what each audience needs to see. - Give each template a name that identifies its audience. Your team sees these names in the *Choose PDF Template* window. - Leave the *Worked Log* (timesheets) component out of templates you share outside your company if you don't want external parties to see labor hours. - Train project managers and office staff to select the right template when they download a daily log PDF. ## Use cases - A general contractor wants daily logs without labor hours. The project manager downloads the PDF with a template that leaves out the *Worked Log* section. - A residential builder keeps two templates: a full one for internal records, and one for homeowners that leaves out timesheet and equipment details. - A subcontractor reports to the general contractor with a template that includes only the *Materials, Safety,* and *Notes* sections. - An office creates separate templates for project managers, the owner, and the general contractor, so no one has to edit the PDF by hand. ## Step 1: Create a Daily Log Print template 1.
