Question

Invoice Template - hide headers on PRINT not on the screen

  • April 13, 2021

I am trying to figure out how to hide the quantity, item code, description, rate and amount headers JUST from the invoice PRINT out and NOT on the screen. If I remove the heading titles in Layout Designer, it removes it from the screen when entering as well.

 

Any thoughts?

Hello, randychm. 

 

I'll guide you on how you can remove those headers from the print out on your invoice template. 

 

Instead of using the Layout Designer, you'll want to remove the headers from the Additional Customization screen. You can remove the quantity, item code, rate and amount from the Print screen. Here's how: 

 

  1. Go to the List menu, then select Templates.
  2. Open your invoice template.
  3. Click the Additional Customization button.
  4. Go to the Columns tab.
  5. Uncheck the boxes under the Print section to remove the headers from the print screen.
  6. Click OK.

 

 

You might also want to tweak your template layout in the Layout Designer screen. Removing certain headers might display the print preview incorrectly. 

 

For more details about customizing your form, you can check this article: Use and customize form templates. 

 

After tweaking your layout or template settings, you can start using the template on your invoice. Simply select it from the TEMPLATE drop-down menu on the invoice screen.

James, I do not want to hide the fields completely - just the headers when it  PRINTS. When I uncheck the "print box" it completely hides the entire field. I also cannot remove the headers in the Print Layout as it will not let me.

I appreciate you for getting back to us, randychm.

 

We can rename the header as spaces so the fields will not show on the invoice template. Let me guide you how:

 

  1. From the Lists menu, select Templates.
  2. Double-click the invoice template.
  3. Click the Additional Customization button.
  4. Go to the Columns tab.
  5. On the Description field, remove the name.
  6. Do the same on the other fields.
  7. Click OK and then OK.

 

 

Feel free to save this reference as your guide in customizing the templates: Use and customize form templates.

 

I'll be around if there's anything that I can help. Take care!
