Add Data Elements - Overview

Find out how to identify what the elements on a layout mean in AroFlo Office

Updated on July 22nd, 2024

Data elements are used to pull information out of AroFlo and display it on your layout, to save you having to manually enter details. The data applied to a layout relates to the client you are creating the layout for.

There are three types of data elements available:

  • Static Data: information that doesn't tend to change, such as a client name or address
  • Dynamic Data: information that is the product of a calculation, such as Labor Cost Total or Quote Total
  • Tables: pre-built groupings that can contain both static and dynamic data.

Click the relevant menu on the left of the layouts Toolbox, or use the search box at the top to find the data elements you need. Simply click the name of the element to add it to your layout.

When adding new data elements to a layout, it is good practice to preview the layout to ensure the correct information is displayed. When adding new data elements to a layout, it is good practice to preview the layout to ensure the correct information is displayed.
