How to Create a Default Template for Adding Notes

Learn how to create a default note template in TradeZella to auto-fill a folder's notes, or apply a template to any note as you write it.

Written by Team

You can use templates two ways in TradeZella: apply one to a note whenever you're writing it, or set a default template so a folder's notes are pre-filled automatically.

Setting a Default Template for a Folder

  • Go to the Notebook.

  • Click the three dots (...) beside the folder you want to set a template for (e.g. Daily Journal).

  • Select 'Select Default Template'.

  • Type your own template, or select one from your existing templates.

  • Click 'Save template' and then click on 'Add default template'.

Once set, this template will automatically populate whenever you add a new note to that folder — keeping your entries consistent.

Applying a Template to a Note

You're not limited to the Notebook for this — you can apply or change a note's template from anywhere you write one:

  • Notebook — click the Templates icon in the toolbar.

  • Trade Preview panel or Trade Detail page — in the Notes tab (Trade note or Daily Journal sub-tab), pick from Recently used templates or click + Add template.

  • Day View — click View note (or + Add note) on a day to open its note popup, then click Templates at the top for a Recently used list, with See more templates and Manage Templates below it.

  • Dashboard (day planning page) — the day's Notes section shows which template it started from, with a Change link to switch to a different one; the toolbar's Templates icon is also available here, same as in the Notebook.

Clicking Templates / Add template opens the template picker, where you can search, pick from Favourites or Recommended templates, choose one of your own, or Create new template.

How Default Template Works:

This template you create will be synced to all the notes pages. So, whenever you write a note for the day, your default template will automatically populate, ensuring consistency in your note-taking. ✍️
