If you know you're going to be creating your Entries with about the same set of Fields and Labels for most of the accounts and passwords you store in Codebook (or some other type of data, like credit card information), it can be helpful to set up one or more Entries as templates, with empty Field values. Then when you need to create a new Entry of this type, you can copy it and start editing it right away.
First let's create a new Category for our templates. Tap on Home > Categories to display your existing categories. Tap on the plus button in the navigation bar at add a new category.
We'll name this Category "Templates" and pick an icon to help distinguish it from our other Categories. Tap the save icon to save the new category. The Category has been created. It has no entries. Tap on the plus button at the top of the new Templates category.
Tap Add Entry to create a new entry. We're going to use this Entry for setting up login accounts for websites, so we'll name it Website Login. After entering the name, tap the ✓, tap Save.
Now, we want to add fields to this entry. Tap Add a new field and add Email, Password, and Website Fields to the new Entry, and leave the contents of each blank.
If you almost always use the same Email address, you may wish to fill that value in on the template. You may have noticed that on the Edit Email view, email addresses you have used previously are suggested under Frequently Used. Remember to save if you filled in the email field.
When it's time to set up a password for a website in Codebook, we can Copy and Paste or Move this Entry into any Category. In this case we'll copy and paste it into the Cloud Services Category we created earlier. Long tap on the Website Login entry and tap Copy Entry. Navigate to the Cloud Services Category. Tap PASTE ENTRY
From there we can edit the name and icon, fill in blank Fields, set it as a Favorite, and use the Password Generator to create a new random password. Here we've set up a new password for box.com, using our default email address, and specifying the website's domain in the Website field. Tap the save icon to save your changes.
And that's all there is to it! You can use and customize the Labels available to create any kind of templates you'd like.
