CSM: HTML forms & Job sheets |
Part of the Customer Service Management module allows you to print HTML forms, usually Job sheets or Survey forms, which can be given to workers. | ||||||||||||||||||||

You can specify single HTML files or alternatively folders that contain HTML files. If you choose a folder then all documents within that folder will be printed when you print a job. This is useful if you want to print 3 copies of a job; one for the engineer, one for the customer, and one for the service manager. HTML forms require some basic knowledge of HTML syntax, and you will need an HTML editor to design and edit your forms. Use HTML comment tags in your forms to indicate where you want field data to be printed. A list of pre-defined tags can be seen in the HTML tags & options section. You can also use any HTML tags from the main database in your form, so for example if you are printing a job sheet for a company already in the database, you could display fields from that company on the form along with the job information. |

When you create a new job or edit an existing job, the Job sheet that you print will reflect the job details and the fields will be filled in wherever valid comment tags appear. | ||||||||||||||||||||
