1. Introducing the Editor
The template editor allows you to design ticket templates:
From a new template: New
From an existing model: Copy or Import
For thermal printers: for Boca format tickets
For pdf tickets: for A4/print@home formats
For Mobile-pdf: for tickets downloaded to a mobile phone
The editor works with a set of variables explained in List of variables page in the ticket layout editor.
When a modification of the templates is needed during the season, it is recommended:
to copy the model used in production
to make all the desired changes
test the new model using variable sets
to associate the new model to the product
to archive the old model
