When editing a custom layout, click Settings to access a range of settings that control the general behaviour of the layout. These settings are explained in the table below.
Setting Description
Layout Type Used to create RTF layouts.
Page Orientation Select the page orientation (Portrait or Landscape).
Snap to Grid / Grid Spacing

When moving elements, AroFlo aligns them to an invisible grid. The pixels in the Grid Spacing field determines the size of the grid.

Turn this off temporarily to move elements around freely.

 
Snap Element

Aligns elements to the closest element.

This is overridden by Snap to Grid so turn this off if you want to use Snap Element.

When aligning, drag the element very slowly against another element to align.

 
Move Elements Gives you the ability to move elements around.
Resize Elements

Gives you the ability to resize elements.

Turn this off temporarily to move small elements around.

 
PDF Name

Create a customised filename for the layout. As well as typing your own information, you can also choose layout fields, e.g. address of job, invoice number, date of invoice (in the case of an invoice layout).

  • This is useful if you plan on sending the same invoice layout to multiple clients as the filename will be different for each client.
  • Type in the box to enter your own text and/or use an open square bracket [ to search field names and autocomplete.

If you don't create a customised filename, the filename will have a default, e.g. Invoice [Invoice No.] for an Invoice layout, Quote [Ref No.] for a Quote layout, and Jobsheet [Ref No.] for a Jobsheet layout.
