FT Generate Document – Edit Online

Business Background

Use the FT Generate Document functionality in Salesforce or a Salesforce Flow to trigger CLM and signing processes. In addition, the Salesforce user can now edit the document online before starting the collaboration and approval process.

Titan Solution

Titan lets you edit the document online from Salesforce before sending the document for the CLM process. You can, for instance, add or change text, add images or tables, or change the font family or color.

The changes are not made to the template but only to the edited document version.

How to Guide

There are two methods to do this:

• Use the FT Generate Document Button
• Use a Salesforce Flow

Use the FT Generate Document Button

1. In Salesforce, open the record where you added the FT Generate Document button.
   • In this example, the button was added to a contact.
   • The edited document will be sent to the first collaborator in the CLM process.
2. Click the FT Generate Document button. The Titan Document Generation modal opens.

3. Click the Edit icon next to the CLM template you want to edit. The document is generated, bringing all the dynamic data to it. The Titan document editor opens. 

4. Use the options at the top and right to change the document.

   • Change the text or paragraph formatting using multiple options.

5. Use the Send/Confirm icon in the top right corner to send the edited document to the email address linked to the first collaborator in the CLM process.
