Copy Sent Documents
When you email forms from Studio Designer, they are sent straight from the cloud. Because they do not send from your email program (Outlook, etc), a copy is not available in your Sent folder. Checking these boxes will automatically send a copy of the document to your email when you send it to a client or vendor.
If you need a copy for your records, you have two options:
- Placing a check in the boxes above will have a copy of the corresponding document automatically sent to your email address when you send one directly from Studio Designer.
- Always email to yourself rather than to the client or vendor, then forward from your email program to your client or vendor. This is the only way to have an actual "sent" record.
Note: if you choose the second option, you should not check any of the options in the image above or you will end up with two copies each time.
Appearance
Logos
Address Alignment: this option only applies to the name and addresses shown in the header. All footer information is automatically centered. The alignment for your address at the top of proposals, orders, and invoices. Options: Left and Center.
Logo Alignment: options: Left, Center and Right.
Header Logo: when forms are printed, your company logo can print at the top of them. We provide spaces for you to store up to three different headers and three different footers.
Header Logo 1: this field points to the URL where your logo is located.
Header Logo 2 and 3: are stored exactly the same way. Header Logo 1 is the default in the Reports screen, but you can choose to use an alternate Header Logo as long as it has been stored on this page ahead of time.
Footer Logo 1, 2 and 3: when documents are produced, your company logo can print at the bottom of the documents. This field points to the URL where your logo is located.
Note: footer logos will "float" at the bottom of the printed data on the last page of your forms. They do not automatically go to the very bottom of the page. There is currently no way to change this. If this is an issue for you, we suggest you use the Footer Name, Footer Address, etc, rather than a footer logo.
*Logo Specifications: the logo should be a max height of 150 pixels and a max width of 700 pixels. Be sure that what you send is crisp and high quality. We cannot edit your logo, so please have it the size you want.

Form Titles
The default titles and text that print on forms can be customized within this section. It is not recommended that you use punctuation or special characters in these fields as that can result in error messages (ex: use "20 percent discount" for Mark-Up Text, not "20% discount").
Mark Up Text is the title that will print at the bottom of the proposal and invoice within the totals section of the forms should you choose to display the markup.
All of the other options are the titles printed at the top of each form.
This includes:
- Proposal Text
- Order Text
- Acknowledge Text (accessed from within the order)
- Invoice Text
- Time Invoice Text
Default Forms
You can set your preferred theme for newly-created proposals, orders, and invoices here. This can always be changed on a document level when editing a specific document.
Report Option Defaults
Descriptions are below for each option. Some of these options are also available at the time of printing. These are noted with an asterisk (*).
First Component Only: When proposals and invoices are produced, many items can be combined into one description. You may have a chair frame, fabric, and pillows that makeup one item. Each related item would be assigned the same Room and Item #, but would have a unique component, like A, B, and C.
Checked: Only the description for the first component “A” is printed. The amounts for the A, B and C components are totaled into one amount and shown as the total price for component A
Unchecked: The description and amount of print for each component
Note: our best practice is to always assign a Room, Item # and Component to every item. It not only enables the First Component Only function to work, but it also provides a unique identifier for each item.
Show Client Item #: this will automatically include the Item # and Component on proposals and invoices
Checked: the item# and component will be shown on proposals and invoices
Unchecked: the item# and component will NOT be shown on proposals and invoices

This option allows it to be shown as a separate amount, labeled Design Fee.
Checked: the mark up for all items will be totaled and shown after the Sub Total at the bottom of the form
