With thousands of templates, the Template Library is one of the most powerful features in eTool. Without it, eTool LCAs wouldn’t be such a breeze to create.

Here are some of the benefits of creating new custom templates:

Easier to repeat results
More consistent, accurate and comparable assessments
Geographically more relevant templates
A deeper understanding of how your LCA works

Organisations can also take advantage of Template Sharing to create a reusable custom template library that is accessible to your whole team. If you’re keen to learn how to start building your own custom template library, head over to the Creating Templates post for more guidance.

How to use the Template Library

We’ve enhanced the Template Library’s search functionality and nested template viewing capacity. You can now easily identify templates that contain nested templates and quickly view the quantities entered using the drop-down tree list. The animation below demonstrates how this works. Note that the nested templates quantities on all levels are based on the template quantity of the Master template at the top level.
