3.0 How to use Section Comments on a Work Order

Overview

This article outlines how to use Section Comments that were introduced with 3.14.  Section comments allows you to enter comments on the Work Order and tag them in a manner that they are associated with the Sections/Repair Codes that are on the Work Order.  

Setup

The first step is to change your Invoice Design Options to set the Comments to print on the bottom.  

This can be done by going to Invoice Design Options then the Comments Tab and selecting the "Print Section Comments" checkbox.  

When you are in a Work Order and on the comments tab you can enter comments with the following tagging structure that will associate the comments inside of the tab with the specific section.  If you select a Repair Code in the Comments Tab and then the Green Arrow that will add the tags in there for you and any predefined comment from the Repair Code.  See Example below.

Now when you add Labor, Parts, Miscellaneous Charges, Rental, Equipment or Flat Rates to Section(s) with those Repair Code(s), the comments will now print with that Section on the Work Order.  

Any Comments that aren't included inside of a proper Section Tag that is used on the Repair Order will print after all Sections on the Work Order.
