Story Templates let editors pre-build a focused entry form for a specific story type, deciding which fields show, which are mandatory, what's pre-filled, and which production tasks and scheduling are already in place. Reporters pick a template and create routine stories in a fraction of the clicks, with data that stays consistent across desks, platforms, and teams. 

Story Templates give editors a way to set up content entry once, with the right fields, the right defaults, and the right production tasks already in place, so reporters can create routine stories in a fraction of the clicks and keep data consistent across desks, platforms, and teams. 

That matters because the Kordiam story card is comprehensive by design. Every field, every task, every publication detail is there because, at some point, for some story, it counts. But for reporters working through routine, repeatable story types like the Thursday sports report, the weekly interview, or the daily politics file, that depth can get in the way. Filling in the full card each time takes longer than it should, and the more often a team does it, the greater the chance a field gets missed or entered inconsistently. 

That friction adds up. Across a desk, across a week, across every story of the same shape, small delays and small inconsistencies compound: data that doesn't match, production steps that get forgotten, time spent on entry that could go to reporting. 

Story Templates let editors define a focused entry form for a specific story type, so reporters work from a card built for the job in front of them, not the full configuration every time.
