Using Templates for incident reviews in Jeli (Beta)

Templates in Jeli are helpful for organizations that have specific requirements or unique needs for post-incident review documentation, and in general to give folks a starting point for what to capture in the Executive Summary and Key Takeaways sections.

Creating templates can help you:

  • Keep all of your opportunity data in one place instead of across multiple docs

  • Create consistency in reporting across multiple teams

  • Streamline your process instead of spending time writing boilerplate

Templates in Jeli allow you to pre-define incident review templates for your Executive Summary and Key Takeaways fields. This article explains how to get started and use Templates in Jeli.

📣 Jeli Admins currently have the ability to create, edit, and delete templates. Reach out to an Admin to make any changes to existing templates in your Jeli instance.

Create a new template

  1. Click into the Executive Summary or Takeaways field and select the “Choose a template” button from below the text area.

  2. Choose “Create template”

  3. Create your new template:

  • Name: The name of your template (ex. AwesomeCo Incident Report Template)

  • Template: The Markdown for your template. Jeli supports Github flavored Markdown

  • Type: Whether this template should apply to the Executive Summary text area, the Takeaways text area, or both.

  • Set as default for Executive Summary: Populate the Executive Summary field with this template by default for all new opportunities.

  • Set as default for Takeaways: Populate the Takeaways field with this template by default for all new opportunities.

Use an existing template

  1. Click into the Executive Summary or Takeaways field and select the “Choose a template” button from below the text area.
