Customizing Layouts
— Receipts are structured in blocs, a kind of container with the fields finally printed placed inside it
— Some logical structures like f.ex. the total at the end of a transaction can not be altered
— To remove a bloc or field, swipe it outside the receipt. The size of field can be changed by taping on its border and swiping to the left or right side
— Choosing a container will show the corresponding fields on the left side as well as some general fields which could be added to that container
— Fields in lila colour are freetext fields where the text can be edited. All other colours are variables containing transaction data
— Taping onto a field or bloc will show its properties at the bottom. Text fields (lila) allow editing. For example: You can change from «Bill No:» to «Invoice Nr.»
