Resolution

The Form Template for previewing any document is based on the Form Template Selection rule, the parameters selected and sequence used for the rule.

  2. Select Form Template Selection.
  3. Select the Form Template Group.
  4. Here you can create or maintain the Form Template.

  1. Go to the Account Management work center. 
  2. Select the Accoutns view. 
  3. Open the Respective Account.
  4. Navigate to the Communication tab and the Collaborations sub tab.

Here you can maintain a template of your desire for the respective document and it will overrule the form template rules.
