Structured Templates

More than a layout, templates predefine the fields every article captures: text, dates, tags and more. A form and the rich text editor in one, so your knowledge stays structured and consistent without anyone policing it.

Fields, not just text

A form and the rich text editor, combined. Predefined fields on every article.

Templates do more than shape free text. You predefine the fields each article captures: text, dates, tags and more. Authors fill in a structured form right alongside the content, so the key details are always there, and always consistent.

Automatically organized

Assign a template to its space. Every article files itself there.

Tie a template to the space it belongs in, and every article created from it lands there automatically, so each kind of content ends up exactly where readers expect to find it. No manual sorting, no stray pages. Organized by default.

Governed

Templates evolve with your standards. Update once, apply everywhere.

When your standards change, update the template (fields and layout), not hundreds of articles by hand. Your knowledge base stays coherent as it grows from dozens to thousands of articles.

FAQ

Common questions about templates

A template combines a form with the rich-text editor: it sets a predefined structure plus fields for contributors to fill in. Every article of that type comes out structured and consistent, without anyone having to police it.
A template guides contribution and captures structured information as people write, so articles are classified correctly and become a new way to filter across your knowledge base. A copied sample gives you a starting layout but none of that consistency or findability.
Yes. That’s much of the point. Contributors fill in a defined framework rather than starting from nothing, and Elium ships ready-made templates such as Best Practices, Process Description and After Action Review to start from.
Because every article of a type follows the same structure, your knowledge stays coherent and easy to search. When your standards evolve, you update the template rather than reworking articles one by one.
Any team that wants consistent, well-classified contributions at scale, without a content team chasing every contributor. They’re especially useful for recurring content types like processes, best practices and reports.
