An eCOC Template will allow you to have a basis for submitted reoccurring orders, eliminating the need to fill out redundant order information. It can streamline your work and reduce errors.

You can also download your template into an Excel sheet to take offline into the field. For more information, see the article named "Downloading and Uploading eCOCs/Jobs (Working Offline)"

Find video guides on how to complete an eCOC here.
