The Docrio Packet Builder allows users to create and manage packets which act as containers for individual or multiple template files. This article provides steps on creating new packet templates, editing existing packet templates, and using packet templates to generate documents using the Merge action. 

How to Create a Packet in Docrio

You can create file packets in Docrio and make them available for agents generating documents on a matter. A packet is a set of document templates that have been merged into one collection. A document template cannot be accessed and utilized without being part of a packet.

3. Complete the following fields:
   • Packet Name: Used by internal organization for selection.
   • Packet Code: Optional code for quick reference
   • Starting Object: Must match the starting object of templates going inside  a packet.
     
4. Save. 
5. Select Add Template(s).
6. Choose the template. 
7. Select Add Template(s). 
8. Save.

2. Select Edit Packet.
3. Choose a packet and select Edit Packet.
4. You can update the following fields:

How to Generate a Packet in Docrio

5. Choose a [Packet Name].
   
6. Select Next. 
7. Review the fields displayed. Some may require manual entry while others auto-populate based on information provided in the parent matter record. You can also Preview the document before generating.
8. Select Generate.
