Setting up templates

Learn how to set up templates in Noxtua with step-by-step instructions.

Migrating existing templates

Templates that were created before Apr 15th  2026 need to be migrated to the new template experience by users with the template manager role assigned. To do so, open the template overview and click "Migrate to new templates" next to each template to open the new editor view. Once you click "Migrate & Share", the template is migrated and immediately available to all users in the new experience. 

Please note:

  • The template migration is irreversible.

  • When opening your templates in the new editor view, you can seize the chance to add user input fields and knowledge sources before completing the migration. To learn how to set this up, please read the article below. 


Required user role to set up templates

Please note that only users with the template manager role assigned can create, edit, or delete templates within an organization. Learn more about role management in this article


Developing a good prompt

Before creating a template, make sure you have a prompt that reliably delivers good results. If you're not there yet, start by testing your prompt with Noxtua and refining it until the output consistently meets your standards with varying inputs. Time invested here pays off every time the template is used.

How to create a new template 


Step 1: Create a new template

In the chat field, click "Templates" below the input field, then select "New Template" in the bottom right of the window that opens. 

 

Step 2: Name your template and add a description  

You are now on the overview page, where you can add all the information to design your new template.


Start by giving your template a clear, descriptive name and add a short description that tells colleagues what the template does and when to use it. Both can be edited at the top right of the page. 

Here is one example:

  • Title: DPA review with checklist

  • Description: Standardized DPA review using our company-internal checklist 


Step 3: Add user input fields  

If running the template requires specific information or documents from the user, you can define input fields that prompt the user to provide the required information. 

Under the section “User Input” on the top left, click the "Add" button to add an input field. A new window opens asking you to define the following parameters:

  • User Input: The type of input the user needs to add. Choose between text input or file input. 

  • Title: Give the input field a name that clearly tells users what input is required from them. 

  • Instructions: Give users more guidance on which input is expected.

Save your configuration and add further input fields as needed for your use case. 


 

Step 4: Add knowledge sources

If your template requires reference documents, such as a checklist, playbook, or set of review criteria, upload them under "Knowledge Sources” on the right side. These documents are automatically available as guidance for Noxtua, every time the template is run, without users needing to upload them. 


Step 5: Add your prompt

Enter a prompt that serves the use case of your template well in the “Prompt” section.

Now it’s time to add the user inputs and knowledge source documents that you defined in earlier steps to your prompt. To do this, you have two options:

  1. Type @ in the prompt, opening a drop-down for you to select the respective input.

  2. Use the "Insert User Input" and "Mention Knowledge Source" buttons at the bottom of the prompt field. 



Step 6: Save and test

Click "Save and share" to save your template and make it available to other users within your organization. To make sure everything runs as intended, open the chat, select your new template, and run it with a realistic input to check whether the output meets your expectations.  



Step 7: Edit or delete your template

Of course, you can always go back to your template and edit or delete it at any time. Simply open the template overview via the chat field again and you see a button to edit or delete your template.
