I didn't know where to post this so, I taking a blind shot. I just started in a company where they don't have documentation of the network connected to which computer, data jack, patch panel number, and switch, and etc... Can anyone tell me where I can get a template or outline for this? Any help would be appreciated.

Lucky you - - you get to impress them that you KNOW documentation is important AND know how to create it.
Suggest an EXCEL spreadsheet stored on the DC server in an admin only directory.

Btw: *IF* the cabling was correctly installed in the first place
every room or cube with computers should have a wall plate with a
label next to EACH plug. That label identifies (one way or another) where the far end terminates (eg P-b-14; frame P row b slot 14 or some such scheme).
The cable room should have similar labels, noting where the far end is located
(A-1-c15; building A, first floor, cube 15).
The patch panels are where the cube cable terminate and the connection to the switch or router can be changed without moving the cables from the cubes.
I'm sure this is obvious to anyone working in this environment, but I note it here as background for those who do not.
