Manage Invoices from the Invoices Tab

Whether your invoice was created from the Estimates page, or from the Calendar, they will all be listed under the Invoices tab on the lefthand menu.

To view all past and current invoices:

  • Click the Invoices tab in the left-hand sidebar.

  • Here you can:

    • View invoice history

    • Mark invoices as paid

    • Send reminders directly from the list view
