Folio Preview, Printing and Sending

Now that you have seen the folios and learned how to work with them, next, we will examine the preview and printing options. Clock PMS+ offers a wide range of print views regardless of whether the folio is still open or closed.

Folio preview

To select the folio preview mode, follow these steps:

• Open the folio and click the 'Preview' button;
• A folio print preview will load depending on the standard setup defined in the Tax Settings;
• You can change the view through the 'View' (4) button. Select the respective option and see the folio view.
• Through the 'Languages' (3) button you can change the language to be used for the folio printing;

• You can print out the folio in each of the views. To paper print, select the 'Print' (1) button;

Single row folio

Apart from the different detail level views of the folio, we have also provided the option to print the folio in a fully compact view - one row. The option enables you to add the text on your own that will be used for summarising all services. The text serves as a description of the charge in the print form. You have two options to add it:

• Open the folio;
• Select Issue->the Single row Folio button;

OR

• Select the 'Preview' button;
• For the print view, click the 'Single row folio' (5);
• Enter summarising text and save.

If a summarising text is already added, but you would like to once again use some of the detailed views, simply remove the text the same way you added it.

Folio emailing

When emailing a folio, please note that the customer receives a link to the folio, the view to be loaded is determined the following way:
