Client templates

You can use client templates to add new client records, set up common firm-level policies, and provide a time-saving mechanism across clients that are in similar industries. Client templates are automatically installed with new installations of Accounting CS, version 2013.1.0 or higher. If you already have a prior version of the application installed, do the following to download and restore the client templates.
