Starting from a templateStart here
Every app starts from an App Specification workbook — but you don't have to write yours from a blank sheet. The Template Gallery at sheetward.com/templates/ offers seven ready-made specifications to download, adapt and upload. Each is a complete working specification, not a fragment, and each one demonstrates something different:
| Template | What it demonstrates |
|---|---|
| Employee Register | A single-section form with master-data lookups, validation rules and encrypted sensitive fields for values such as a national ID. |
| Travel Claims | A claim header with an itemized expense section — validations and formulas that work within and across sections. |
| Vendor Invoice | Header, line items and a totals section, with field derivations: choosing a vendor or a product fills the related fields for you. |
| Purchasing App | The multi-form example: a Purchase Requisition and a Purchase Order joined by a relation, so one record opens from the other. |
| Sales Order App | An order form with dashboards: KPI tiles, pivots and charts defined on Report_ sheets. |
| Asset Register | An asset form authored in several languages — one workbook serving English, German, Japanese and Arabic users. |
| Customer Feedback Survey | A Survey_ sheet — sections, questions, ratings and choice lists — that becomes a shareable survey with a results dashboard. |

Download the template closest to what you run, open it in Excel, LibreOffice, or Google Sheets, and change whatever you need — rename fields, add or remove sheets, adjust the rules. Then create an app from it exactly as you would from your own workbook: New App, then Use a Specification Workbook. Some templates in the in-app library also carry sample records: the Create App step offers to include them, and you can untick the box to start empty.
