Question

TEMPLATES: Creating Syllabus Templates

Answer

Overview

Each Syllabus Group contains one template. That template is the basis for all Forms and Syllabi in that Syllabus Group.
When a new Form is created, it begins with the fields and structure of the template. The final Syllabi are created from those forms, so templates are the foundation for any syllabi created in Syllabus.
In cases where each Syllabus Group corresponds to one Academic Year, the template is the default, institution-wide syllabus. Departments, Programs, and Colleges will build their Forms from that Template.

You can learn more about how templates, forms, and syllabi interact here.

You will need to create a new syllabus group (if the one you wish to create a template for doesn’t already exist) in order to create a new template.
Learn how to do that in our Syllabus Groups article.

When you create a new Syllabus Group, a new template will automatically be created.
This template will be blank except for a name field, which you can use or delete.
Beyond this, the process for creating a syllabus template or form is the same. See our Syllabus form-builder article for details.
