 ## Add fields to a template
 
 Fields are areas of the template that should be filled in when generating agreements from the template. When configuring the template, you can define as many fields as you like. For example, the name of a contractor can occur multiple times in a consulting agreement document. You can create a field named "Contractor Name" and associate it with all occurrences of the name throughout the document when you generate a template.
