Take your layout customization up a notch by adding image elements. There are a range of image tables available within the Tables section of the layout Toolbox that let you add images from a Task, Invoice, Client, Location, or Project. Images of users, materials, or assets are also available by adding the appropriate document default image to the relevant table for labor, material, and assets.

Use cases:

• Include photos taken on site on a quote layout.
• Include photos of the technician who performed the work and the parts they used on an invoice layout.
• Include photos of assets in an equipment checklist on custom compliance forms.
• Include photos from Checklist items on a Task Layout.
