workflowmax and print templates
WorkflowMax is a powerful Job Management application that allows users to:
a) track the profitability of jobs
b) compare actual labour and material costs against estimated costs.
WorkflowMax can be customised to meet the specific needs of many industries and user groups. An important tool provided by WorkflowMax to extend this capability is the print template function. This function is critical for customising output documents such as quotes, invoices, and Purchase orders and gives the user considerable control over the look and feel of these documents.
Howeverthe WorkflowMax print template function can go much further and can extend the capability of the application. This does require using “smart” word files. These are docx files containing additional code to achieve specific functionality.
