Templates & Rendering
Learn about different template types and their implementation to ensure consistent and structured data across your document database.
Create display templates for your schemas
Display templates are at the core of how Docly renders your documents as web pages. A .hash file defines the HTML output for all documents of a given schema. This guide explains everything you need to know — from placement and naming, to data binding, loops, master pages, images, and more.
Understanding and Using Templates
Docly’s templating system is designed to simplify data entry while ensuring uniformity across your document database. By introducing schemas that enforce precise structures, both for documents and folders, users are effortlessly guided to input data that aligns with the desired format. This not only ensures consistent metadata tagging but also tailors each document and folder to optimally serve the specific needs and purpose of their corresponding database.
Creating a Template Collection in Docly
Docly is designed as a specialized file system, uniquely tailored for JSON files to guarantee structured data consistency. Template Collections allow you to assemble a group of templates for streamlined access. After activating these templates within a workspace, they conveniently appear in the "New Document" dialog, facilitating creation in both the primary folder and its sub-folders.
