Attaching the template to an Invoice or Work Order
Before changing the Work Order and Invoice templates, identify your Work Order, Invoice needs. What do you want to show in these templates and what do you not want to show.
You can create up to 3 specific-purpose templates, any of which can be attached to a Work Order, Work Order Series, or to an Invoice. Specific purpose means you can remove any of the template sections to meet the needs of a customer. For example, you have Photos included in your regular Service Report template but you might have a customer who doesn't want photos included. Create a separate template with the photos section removed.
As you make changes make use of the Preview Button (always click a Preview button). This will show you what your customers will see.
What the template controls
If you were to remove all sections from the template and disable all settings, you'll see your company details on the left, and Invoice or Service Report content on the right. This will always appear on your template no matter what sections it contains.
The following sections are available for you to include, exclude and move around in your templates. Click and drag sections up and down to change the order in which they'll appear.
