Job Templates are used to prefill specifications on an item more quickly. It is a general base for setting up similar items and products. The templates can be set up with the most common or lowest base of specs and then they can be customized on the quote or order to fit the request. Job templates make it possible for new users to learn how to create and quote simple jobs without the help of an estimator.
While job templates can be created from scratch form Settings > Job Templates, you can also convert the specs on a quote item into a job template. This is a quick way of saving the specs on a quote item for future use when building other items.
