Procedures and checklists are a critical part of Cimplico Workpapers. You can read about what they are through our Core Concepts article Procedures & Checklists.
A great thing about these templates is you can configure them in the app and sync them to active workpapers for bulk updating. This is handy when you notice a change in legislation or you want to change the team's process.
💡 Note
Procedure and Checklists are both templated and you follow the same steps to create and edit.
