Templates
Templates in RigBridge provide a structured way to create standardized digital work instructions, ensuring consistency and efficiency in drilling operations. The purpose of the Templates feature is to develop Master Plans— centralized reference documents containing the best practices, learnings, and standard procedures that can be reused for new projects. By utilizing templates, you can streamline the planning phase and ensure that instructions are consistent across different projects.
