Order Reports

You can print various order reports for your client and/or production staff.  All orders are stored within the album file for later access.  You can optionally append the Order Report with a custom message, such as your studio's sales policy, from the Notes Library.  Click on Order Agreements to learn more.

When printing the Order/Invoice Report, a dialog box will appear, allowing you to customize the report with various options.  There are two options tabs at the top of the dialog.  It is important to review and select your preferred options from both Options tab 1 and Options tab 2.  

Go to the top menu, File > Print > Order/Invoice Report (or click on the Print button in the Review Order window).



Quick Tip - Customizing Your Order/Invoice Report

Because there are so many options when creating a customized Order/Invoice Report, we recommend a bit of trial and error.  Customize it how you see fit, then print and save a pdf.  Review the .pdf and make additional adjustments.  Your selections will be saved and applied to future reports, streamlining the process for next time.

Sample Order Report:

You can include a custom message, such as an Order Agreement or your studio's sales policy in your report.  These are created and found in the Notes Library.  This added message will appear at the end of the report, allowing you to provide additional information or policies relevant to the content of the report.

There are a number of default order agreements included with ProSelect, or use the Add button to create your own.  Access the Notes Library by going to the top menu, Resources > Notes Library.

  • Select a note from the list to view.
  • Edit the notes in the "Contents" box.  Save changes when finished.
  • You can add a new note using the Add button.
  • Alternatively, duplicate a note first, then make adjustments. 
Text Tags

Text substitution in ProSelect allows you to automate the inclusion of dynamic content in your notes through the use of special text tags.  These tags can be easily inserted into the text by clicking on the icon next to the Contents box.  Choose a text tag from the list provided.  When the text is displayed, printed, or exported, these tags are automatically replaced with their corresponding real-time values.

How Text Tags Work: Text tags act as placeholders within your text stamps that pull in specific data such as dates, business names, or client names.  You can customize what information appears in your notes by choosing appropriate tags based on your needs.

Tags appear in square brackets.  For example, [BUSINESSNAME].

This report functions similarly to the Order Report, but instead of a pricing section, it features columns of checkboxes, designed to serve as a printed checklist to track progress through your fulfillment process.  You have the option to define up to six checkbox columns, each with a legend description that can be customized to fit the specific needs of your studio.
