  1. 1

    Open document setup

    Dashboard or public CREBuilder site

    Select the state-specific entry control, labeled Create New for signed-in users and Get Started Free for signed-out visitors.

    Expected result: The package-selection screen opens.

    If this does not happen: If the signed-in Create New control is unavailable, check the account document limit or ask an account administrator to verify access. If the public control is absent, open the Pricing page and select a plan to start.

  2. 2

    Choose the package

    Get Started > Package

    Select the one package that matches the assignment.

    Expected result: CREBuilder advances to the property-structure question or the next supported setup screen.

    If this does not happen: Return to Package and compare the six package descriptions if the selected output does not match the intended audience.

  3. 3

    Choose the property structure

    Get Started > Property structure

    Select Single Property or Multiple Properties when the choice appears.

    Expected result: The setup records the correct single-property, multi-building, or portfolio path.

    If this does not happen: If Multiple Properties is absent, confirm that the selected package supports it.

  4. 4

    Choose the property type

    Get Started > Property Type

    Select the asset type that controls the primary fields and metrics.

    Expected result: The selected property type is highlighted and the setup can continue.

    If this does not happen: Use the Property Types guide before continuing if the asset could reasonably fit more than one type.

  5. 5

    Choose the template

    Get Started > Template

    Select one available template.

    Expected result: The selected design displays as the starting template.

    If this does not happen: If a company template is missing, confirm that you are signed in to the correct workspace.

  6. 6

    Continue from the template

    Get Started > Template

    Select the state-specific template action shown for the current session (Get Started / Continue).

    Expected result: A signed-in user reaches the new draft. A signed-out visitor reaches Contact Information.

    If this does not happen: If the action is unavailable, select a template and brand color. If the request fails, keep the selections unchanged and retry once after confirming the connection.

If you begin before signing in

A public visitor completes account creation after the shared package, property type, and template choices. No draft exists until Create Account & Package succeeds.

Complete the public visitor branch

  1. 1

    Continue from the template

    Get Started > Template

    Select Continue.

    Expected result: The Contact Information screen opens.

    If this does not happen: If Continue is unavailable, select a template and brand color.

  2. 2

    Enter the account and contact details

    Get Started > Contact Information

    Complete every required account and primary-contact field.

    Expected result: The account-creation action becomes available.

    If this does not happen: Correct the exact field highlighted by validation before continuing.

  3. 3

    Create the account and package

    Get Started > Contact Information

    Select Create Account & Package.

    Expected result: CREBuilder creates the account and opens the new draft.

    If this does not happen: If the email already belongs to an account, use Already have an account? Sign In instead of creating a duplicate.

Verify before you finish

  • The draft name and address identify the intended property
  • The package and property type match the assignment
  • The wizard shows sections that make sense for the selected setup

Troubleshooting and next steps

The wrong wizard sections appear.

Likely cause: The package, property structure, or property type was selected incorrectly.

  1. Return to the setup flow before entering substantial data.
  2. Create a correctly configured draft if the current document cannot safely change that choice.
A template is not available.

Likely cause: The design may belong to another workspace, package, or plan.

  1. Confirm the signed-in workspace.
  2. Choose an available template and ask the workspace administrator about the missing design.

Final verification

  • Get Started > Template: A signed-in user reaches the new draft. A signed-out visitor reaches Contact Information.
  • Get Started > Template: The Contact Information screen opens.
  • Get Started > Contact Information: The account-creation action becomes available.
  • Get Started > Contact Information: CREBuilder creates the account and opens the new draft.
  • No blocking warning, failed status, or unresolved validation message remains in the completed workflow.
