Make a template publicly visible

You can make templates public so anyone can find them in the public library.

Set template permissions

Control who can interact with this template. You can allow everyone or pick specific people or groups.

Five permission types:

  • EDIT: Modify the template
  • READ: View template details
  • LAUNCH: Start new processes from the template
  • DUPLICATE: Copy the template
  • PROCESS READ: View running processes created from the template

Configure one-off task settings

Decide if people can add unplanned tasks to running processes. Look for “Can people add one-off tasks to this process?”

  • Yes (default): Anyone involved can add extra tasks.
  • No: Nobody can add extra tasks - the process strictly follows defined steps only.

Set this to No for compliance or safety procedures that must follow exact steps.

Export options

Members > Manage member permissions

Tallyfy lets administrators control Standard member permissions at both the template and running process level across five areas — edit and read and launch and view and duplicate — so you can precisely manage who sees and changes your workflows.

Documenting > Templates

Tallyfy templates are reusable process blueprints that you create once and launch repeatedly to assign tasks and track progress automatically while solving problems like inconsistent quality and lost knowledge through three types: procedure templates for multi-step workflows with conditional logic and document templates for reference materials and form templates for standalone data collection.

Templates > Edit a template

Click the Edit icon on any template card in Tallyfy to modify steps, descriptions, settings, and permissions in the Edit view.

Templates > Organizing templates

Organizing your Tallyfy template library through smart folder structures and naming conventions and tags and proper step grouping ensures teams can instantly find and run the right process while maintaining clean version control and regular audit cycles to keep everything accurate and up to date.
