The digital documents feature will allow users to create various document templates and organize them into categories. Then, based on those templates, the user can create a document and send it to their contacts. Each document will allow the user to get various pieces of information about the contact and update the contact profile automatically.

Reminder: For any document you create that includes legal terms, it is your responsibility to ensure that terms included within your agreements, waivers, contracts, etc., follow all state and local laws. Please consult with an attorney for review of any legal language prior to publishing the document on your Fit Pro Tracker account. Fit Pro Tracker, Inc. is not responsible or liable for any legal verbiage used within any documents clients create and share.
