# Invoice Template Editor

On The Job allows you to fully customize the appearance of your invoices through the integrated invoice template editor.

Current templates are listed along the top of the template editor window. On The Job comes with a few default layouts, but it's easy to modify them to create one suited to your business.

## Layout

Items can be arranged on the page by clicking and dragging. Specific settings for the selected item are shown at the bottom of the window. The arrow keys allow you to nudge items one pixel at a time for finer control. Hold down shift and press the arrow keys to move by 10 pixels at a time.

## Settings

Edit First Page / Other Pages allows you to view the first page, or the other pages of the invoice layout. It is frequently convenient to have some items appear only on the first page of an invoice, as well as to adjust the area that the main item list will occupy on the page.

Name controls the name of the template within On The Job.

Page Size controls size of the page that the invoice layout will produce.

Background Color allows you to set a background color for the invoice.

Background Image / PDF allows you to set a image for the invoice. The use of PDFs here is recommended due to their resolution independence. Using PDFs will help your invoices look better when printed. The scaling options control how the image fills up the page, if it is not exactly the same dimensions as the page size specified.

## Drag To Add Items

This is a list of items that you can drag to the invoice. Some are static elements while others display dynamic information based on the invoice selected.

Shape allows you to add rectangles, rounded rectangles, or circles to the template as graphic elements.

Custom Text allows you to add custom static text to your invoice. Useful for adding footers or specific information you need visible on all invoices.

Image allows you to add an image to the invoice template.

Total Cost shows the total cost of the current invoice.

Total Hours shows the total hours of the current invoice.

Invoice Number shows the invoice number of the current invoice.

Invoice Date shows the invoice date of the current invoice.

Due Date shows the due date of the current invoice.

Invoice Page Number shows the current page number of the invoice. Useful for invoices that have more than one page. Page number is shown in the format "1 of 2".

Your Name shows your name, as specified by the profile attached to the client containing the current invoice.

Your Address shows your address, as specified by the profile attached to the client containing the current invoice.

Your Logo shows your logo, as specified by the profile attached to the client containing the current invoice.

Client Name shows the name of the client containing current invoice.

## Lay Items Out

Controls the order that items are laid out in. Default order is the same order they appear in the job item list, arranged by date organized the items based on their start date, and arranged by type allows you to split out expenses from timed items.

## Show

Gives you control over the visibility of some specific items on the invoice. For example, you can turn off the hours column here, or the cost column if you're creating a timesheet instead of an invoice.

## Column Headers

Allows you to customize the text shown in the column headers of the invoice. This can be used to alter titles to suit your needs, or to translate these headers to another language.
