Testing your Template

1. Depending on which document template you're updating, access a job, a quote, or a customer to run a test and see if the updated template is working as expected.

In this example, we updated the template called Equipment Record so we need to access a job and download Equipment Record.

Tip

Note: You can make the Table start and Table end merge fields smaller or even compress them in very small cells as they won’t show once document is generated. You can always play around the formatting such as changing font size and style and  changing table highlight.
