D-9 From the Main Menu

 

A feature has been added to FocalPoint to allow you to print attachments (addendums) from an order screen. To enable this functionality, enable the “Ask For Attachments @ Printing checkbox in the store manager file (C-4 from the main menu), Setup 3 Tab.

 

Once this functionality is enabled, a new button will be available at the top of your order screen, as illustrated below. Click on this button to print any available attachments.

 

 

To set up custom attachments, go to D-9 from the main menu. You may double click on existing attachments or add new attachments from this screen.

 

 

 

One you enter a custom attachment record, there are 8 tabs of options to use to build custom attachments. All options are described below:
