# Board level templates in item level automation

By default, DocExport doesn't show board-level templates in item-level automation triggers. Item-level triggers, such as "Status change," are related to the item on which the automation is triggered.  

To avoid any confusion, it's deactivated by default.

However, if you need it for a specific use case, you can activate it.

## How to enable "Board-level templates can be used in item-level automations"

1. Open your monday.com board and open the DocExport App View.
2. Select **'Settings' (⚙️)**and go to **'App Settings'.**\
   \&#xNAN;***Note:** The first time you open App Settings, the Pricing page may appear. Simply close it and click 'App Settings' again.*
3. Scroll down to the **'Advanced settings'** section.
4. Enable the option **'Board level recipes can be used in item level monday automations'**.
5. Click on 'Save'
6. Once enabled, the board-level templates should show up when setting up an automation.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.docexport.com/troubleshooting/additional-app-settings/board-level-templates-in-item-level-automation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
