How to make an Invoice

An example of creating an invoice using a Record template

We have a table with customer data and orders. You can read how to make a table with orders in the article about the Subform field. The task is to create an invoice for the customers with the ability to print and save it in PDF.Invoice table

Go to the Table widget menu:

Table widget menu

Click on the Record tab and "Create record template":

Record tab

Here you can create your own template from scratch, edit the standard template or choose one of the ready-made mock-ups using html-constructor. For this example, we need an "Invoice with logo" mock-up. Select "Standart" section and "Invoice with logo" template:

Choose record template

The mock-up has loaded and now we can add the data from table to invoice.

To replace the logo, click on the picture and insert the link. Or you can remove the image and insert the HTML field name ("Image" field).

You can create a form with the 'File' or 'Image' field and upload it to the table. Then just copy the url to your file and paste:

To get the HTML field name, click on the "How to insert record data" link under the template. Select the column from the dropdown list and copy HTML field name to buffer:
