If you (and your client) are required to sign declarations of authority to act and/or lodge, you can use Ignition to automate this!

We have created several provided proposal templates for you to use in your own Ignition engagements.

We've also created some STP, TPAR & BAS templates for you below to copy and paste across in your own Ignition accounts if you prefer doing creating them yourself.


How to use the Proposal Template

Prerequisite - Importing your terms template

Before using our provided proposal template, you will need to navigate to the next section of this article and import the Terms template of your choice (depending on which provided template you would like to use).

At this point in time we are unable to import new terms templates

For example: If you wanted to use the STP Finalisation Authority proposal template, please first copy and paste the STP Finalisation Authority terms template into your Ignition account and save it.

Using and customising Ignition provided proposal templates

Navigate to Templates → Proposals → Provided templates.

Then, search for the specific template that you wish and click into it → Use template.

This will bring you to the proposal editor where you'll need to assign this to a client.

Change the start and end dates of the proposal depending on the time that you engage your client. Remember to align this with when your authority will actually commence to ensure that the correct dates will populate in your terms.

Similarly, customise the bill date for the services in the proposal.

Lastly, select the relevant terms template in the Terms step. You'll have done this as a prerequisite before using the proposal template.

When you have completed customizing your proposal, send it to your client.

Remember to customize these aspects when using a provided proposal template:

  1. The proposal start and end dates in the General step

  2. Any service bill dates in the Services step

  3. Select the relevant Terms template in the Terms step (you should have done this already before using the proposal template)


Adding templates to your Ignition account

If you wish to add specific services, terms, email notification or intro message templates directly into your account, follow the instructions in this section.

Please note: The authority templates below have client information included in the templates that will be populated by placeholders, such as company structure, address, and phone number.

These details will need to be added to the client record within Ignition in order for the placeholders to pull through and populate the authorisation template with information.

You should not need to make any formatting changes EXCEPT for adding your name, company ABN, BAS agent number, phone number & address for these templates

Please feel free to change the content of the authorisation if you prefer different wording or your association has different requirements.

We've included the following service, terms and email templates below. Click on these links to view navigate the relevant templates!

You can use these to create custom engagements to send to your clients that cover off STP, TPAR and BAS authorities.

Terms Templates

Click on your desired template and simply copy and paste the content to a new Terms Template in your own Ignition account.

Email Notification Templates

Please ensure that you review these templates as some require your ABN to be inserted. Remember to highlight all of the text in the template documents and copy them across and ensure all yellow highlighted fields wrapped in “< >” are updated with the required information.

You can head over to your services tab, terms tab, email notifications and message templates tab to add these new templates in.
