Add Templates
Your organization can add new templates by clicking the "Add Templates" button on the Manage Templates page from the Admin Tab.
Admin users manage the assessment templates available in their Carve account. While setting up a new Carve account, Company admin users choose what assessment templates will be activiated. Afterwards, Company Admin and Business Admin users can easily add templates at any point to accommodate their organization's changing needs.
PDRI and Construction Readiness assessment templates are based on research led by the Construction Industry Institute (CII). To comply with CII copyright requirements, organizations that are not CII member companies are required to purchase a copy of the latest CII publication associated with each template type that will be used.
Adding Templates to a New Carve Account
When a Company Admin user logs into their Carve account for the first time, they will start with the Assessment Template Setup process. This process only takes a few minutes to complete, and ensures that all the templates you need are activated in the Carve account.

The user can then click Cancel to navigate directly to their Carve account and wait for the other Company Admin user to complete the process.
