Choose the columns in a Doc Designer lines grid

Show, hide, rename and reorder the product line columns that print on a document.

Written by Heather Worthington

The lines grid controls which details from the transaction's lines print on your document, such as product code, quantity and price. You can choose the columns, their order and how they look. Classic and Formal templates can't be edited, so you'll need to create an editable copy first.


Show a column

  1. From the main menu, click Settings, then click Doc Designer.

  2. Click the transaction type you want to edit, for example Purchase Orders.

  3. In the Document tab, use the Template Name drop-down menu to select the template you want to edit.

  4. Click the lines grid component in the template layout.

  5. Click the Component tab.

  6. In the Column Control section, select the column in the Headers field.

  7. Select the Visible checkbox.

  8. Click Save Now, then click Publish.

📌Note: The grid name and the columns available depend on the transaction type. For example, the Sales Order grid is SalesOrderLinesGrid and the Packing Slip grid is PackingSlipLinesGrid. The Type and Grid Name fields are read-only.


Change how a column looks

Select a column in the Headers field, then use these Column Control settings:

Setting

What it does

Dynamic

Available for some columns, such as Discount Rate. When selected, the column only prints if the transaction has a value for it.

Change Order

Use the arrows to move the column up (left) or down (right) in the grid.

Header Name

Enter a custom name for the column header.

Width

Use the slider to change the column width. Select the Auto checkbox to go back to the template's default width.

Text Alignment

Select the horizontal and vertical alignment icons to set how the text sits in the column.

Wrap Text

Moves long text onto the next line so it doesn't overlap the next column.

Include Separator Line

Adds a line under each row of the grid.

Display on own row

Moves the column's details onto their own row under each line.

Decimal Places

Sets the number of decimal places from 0 to 6.

📌Note: The order you set in the grid overrides the order of lines in the transaction.
