Replace text and field placeholders

The engagement letter content includes placeholders for some text and fields that you need to replace with specific information related to your engagement, organization or client.

To edit the text in a letter, select Edit (). Begin typing in any Text Area to customize the wording. Throughout the letter, fields that are highlighted grey pull their responses from other areas of the engagement, or from the Cloud entity.

For example:

The Placeholders indicator located at the top of the document, under the engagement letter document title, tracks your progress on placeholders and displays the number of placeholders that haven't been replaced by specific information. You can also select the indicator to navigate to the next empty placeholder.

To replace a text placeholder:

1. Select the text placeholder.

   Note: The blue highlighted text in the document are placeholders.

2. At the Text Placeholder popup, replace the placeholder text as required and select Save.

   Note: Placeholders are in the form of picklists or input values. You can either make a selection from the available options or manually type a value. If you don't want to change the placeholder text, you must select the placeholder and select Save at the Text Placeholder dialog so it's removed from the placeholder's remaining indicator.

To replace a field placeholder:

1. Select the field placeholder.

   Note: The blue drop-down fields in the document are placeholders.

2. Select a value or specify a date as indicated in the placeholder field.

Change engagement glossary terms and dynamic text

Note: You can only change an existing glossary term or a dynamic text output if the override option is enabled in your product at the firm level by the administrator.

An engagement glossary contains terms. Terms are words and phrases that you can reuse throughout the product. When a term is changed, it is changed everywhere the author defines it.

Dynamic text fields change if certain conditions are met. For example, if the client responds 'Yes' to a procedure in a checklist, then 'Agreed' shows in the dynamic text field.

Your documents may contain terms from the glossary or dynamic text fields. Depending on your product, you may be able to override glossary terms and dynamic text outputs.

To change an engagement glossary term or a dynamic text output:

1. Select the document’s text area you want to change.

   Note: Areas highlighted in gray are either glossary terms or dynamic text fields.

2. Select the glossary term or dynamic text to open the Data Link dialog.

   Note: If you select a glossary term, you can select information () to see the number of places that term is used.

3. Change the Output as desired and select Save.

When the Output condition is met, the text changes in all the places it is used in the engagement. If a different condition is met after the change, the Output changes to match the configured output text for that condition.

Insert the firm logo

You can insert the firm logo in any text area or in the document header or footer.

To insert the firm logo:

1. Select the text field where you want to insert the logo.

2. Select Insert Logo () at the formatting toolbar.

The firm logo is added in the text field.

If no logo is available in the firm template, a placeholder with a link to Cloud displays so you can upload a logo.

Note: You can only upload a firm logo in the firm template. To access the firm template, you must have the Settings Admin role or similar. For more information, see Built-in roles and Assign security roles.

Add a page break

You can add a page break anywhere in the document to manually mark where a specific page ends and a new page starts. This allows you to control the page layout for printing.
