What is the difference between Evidence Templates and Evidence Records?

Understand how templates and records work together to streamline evidence management.

Updated over 3 weeks ago
  • Evidence Templates are reusable blueprints for a specific type of evidence (e.g. Organic Certification Template). Templates define the expected fields, metadata, and format to ensure standardisation.

  • Evidence Records are the actual instances of applied evidence linked to a product, template, location, order, or organisation. These are generated using the template structure and include specific data, attachments, and validity periods.

  • Templates are created once and then reused to create multiple evidence records.

  • Templates are stored centrally under Evidence Tracking > Evidence Templates.

  • Records are managed in the Evidence module and represent real-world documentation.
