How to Use Stamps

In the toolbar there is a function which enables you to add a stamp to the invoice. This stamp works as an annotation note, similar to a "post-it", with a finished message that you want to add on the invoice.

Update Stamp

A number of standard stamps are included in the system, but it is also possible to create your own stamps all according to your own needs. The stamps can either be used by all users in the company or it can be intended to be used by a certain user or a group of users. You update stamps in the Update Stamp procedure in the Global Settings.

Use the command CTRL+ENTER on your keyboard in order to make a new row. There are codes to use in order to make the stamp show Date, Time and User. These codes are entered in the text area by clicking on the respective buttons below the text box.

By using the Text settings button you can select font, size, text color etc. and with the button Background color you can select the background color for the stamp.
