Configuring Microsoft Word export templates
Before users can export Helix ALM items to Word, templates must be created and added to Helix ALM. A template is a Word document that controls what information Helix ALM exports and the formatting of the resulting document. You can create a new template from scratch or use one of the sample templates available for download to get started. See Creating Microsoft Word export templates.
After you create a template, add it to Helix ALM to upload it to the server and select the security groups who can use it to export items.
An administrator or other high-level user is usually responsible for configuring Word export templates.
