Creating a Narrative Template

  1. Click your initials in the bottom-left corner of the Laurel app to open the settings menu.

  2. Navigate to the Narratives tab.

  3. Click Add New to create a template.

    • Fill in the following fields:

      • Name: A descriptive name for your template.

      • Shortcut: A unique keyword to quickly access the template.

      • Description: The narrative content you want to save.

  4. Save the Template

    • If you're unable to save, it means a template with the same name or shortcut already exists. Rename your template to avoid duplicates.

    • Once complete, click Save at the top of the screen to finalize your template.


Accessing a Narrative Template

  1. In the Entry Description Field

    • Open the description field of a time entry.

    • Press the / key to activate shortcuts.

  2. Use Your Shortcut

    • Type the shortcut you assigned to your template.

    • Press Enter to insert the pre-defined narrative into the description field.


Pro Tips

  • Use clear and unique shortcuts for easy access.

  • Always double-check that your template is saved before leaving the Narratives tab.
