Invoice Template Library
Installing Templates
Templates are stored in ~/Library/Preferences/TimeNet Data/Invoice Templates
- You can install a template by copying the .rtfd file or folder containing HTML files in this folder.
- Or you can drag the .rtfd/html template into the list of templates inside TimeNet's Invoice Preference pane:
Editing Templates
TimeNet's invoice templates are completely customizable. You may design your templates in two formats:
- Rich Text Format (.rtfd, use TextEdit, Pages, etc)
- HTML (.html, use any text editor, add graphics, css, etc)
The easiest way to get started is to open a copy of an existing template and begin tweaking it. When working with invoice templates, TimeNet lets you dynamically insert all of the information that you may wish to show on your invoices using tags.
Rich Text Format
Using Apple's TextEdit you can create visually rich invoice templates with graphics, tables, borders, backgrounds and more in Rich Text Format. Consult the help provided with TextEdit for more information on page layout techniques.
HTML Format
When using HTML for your invoice templates, you must enter the tags using the HTML character codes for < and >. The open tag code is
< and the close tag code is
> so a tag would look like this:
<client-name>
