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.
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.
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.
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.
