Use this feature to create custom work ticket reports/forms through the Forms Designer Templates window. The Reports and Letters features are integrated for these custom reports so you can structure your Work Ticket Report with the Bookmarks of your choice. You can either use single bookmarks or table/combined bookmarks to create a work ticket of your liking.
Feature Summary:
•You can use the import, export, and re-import feature in all combined/table bookmarks such as Local Services Bookmarks.
•By default, a standard indent is added to all table bookmarks for uniformity. Table bookmarks such as Container Count, Local Service Destination, Local Service Origin, and Shipper Phone Numbers all appear with the standard indent buffer.
•For empty bookmarks having no data, no character spacing, or extra line is printed.
