New user of EstLIte - a couple of questions

Post by Bagpuss »

Hi,
I've been using BBEst for a couple of months now and have just upgraded to EstLite.
Just a couple of questions to start with ?
- I have been able to preview an invoice with a couple of jobs on it, what I am unclear about is how do I "COMMIT" these 2 jobs to the database ? i.e. which button do I press so I can see those jobs in the History list.
- In the "Mount Widths" drop down, there isn't a 6 6 6 option, am I able to add this to the drop down ?

Thanks in advance,
Adam (B'Puss)

The database is a record of all the framing dockets that you have printed.

You don't have to learn how to use EstLite by trial and error Adam. Perhaps you haven't noticed, but as well as the PDF manual, there is a fairly comprehensive help system in place that can be accessed either by clicking the Help button on the main screen, or by pressing the F1 key on your keyboard while in any other screen.

Help is always relevant to whichever screen you accessed it from, and you can point and click on many graphics within the help system to obtain further information.

For example, pressing F1 while in the Details screen opens the following help window: -

Clicking on the Mount Widths box in the above help screen brings up this additional information.
Help2.jpg
Help2.jpg (33.43 KiB) Viewed 4341 times
Two clicks, and your query is answered.

I'm always happy to provide additional help with the software. However, as you can see, the best source of information is often the online help system.
