More on Attachments and Layouts

  • Tap if you need to select a layout. The layouts available to you are dependent on the area you're emailing from (Tasks, Quotes, Invoices, Purchase Orders). See Standard Layouts for more information.
  • The available attachment PDFs are dependent on which part of AroFlo you are in, for example, Quotes and Invoices will have the option to attach the Jobsheet (and Invoices will have the option to attach a copy of the quote if there was a quote involved). The layout of these documents uses the layout set on the task or quote.
  • The available attachments in the Other Attachments area are dependent on the area you're emailing from and the scenario.
