TemplatesA template is a reusable document checklist. Vylan ships with nine, and you can build your own so you never type the same list twice.The document checklistEvery engagement is a list of documents you are asking for.

A proposal holds the whole engagement at the door, and their acceptance is what releases it.Workflow stagesEvery live engagement sits at a stage, from collecting documents to completed. Vylan moves it for you as things actually happen.Statuses and stagesTwo different ideas that look similar. The status is what has happened to an engagement's life. The stage is where the work has got to.Work that repeatsMonthly bookkeeping, quarterly filings, an annual return — set the rhythm once and Vylan creates the next one when it is due, with the same checklist and the same flow.Completing and archivingHow to close a finished engagement, what completing actually stops, and the difference between archiving and deleting.Deleting and restoringDeleting is reversible for 30 days, then it is permanent and takes the files with it.
