Description
This template organizes company values into a consistent structure, with fields for the value name, its importance (“Why this Matters”), and specific behaviors that exemplify the value in practice. It supports multiple values in a vertically stacked layout, with formatting optimized for readability and emphasis.
Each section is composed of:
- A value headline
- A rich-text explanation of its significance
- A rich-text list of behaviors aligned with that value
The layout allows for easy expansion with additional values and is styled to support visual distinction between sections. There is also a system-generated “Updated” timestamp field to indicate the last time the values were revised.
