How can I use my own template?

In Billomat you can work with standard templates or use your own templates.

Within Billomat you are free to choose whether you want to work with the pre-set standard templates or whether you prefer your own templates for the respective documents.
Tip: We  have explained how you can create your  own templates  here.

How do I choose a standard template?

  • As shown in steps 1-3, navigate to Settings > Documents > Templates
  • Choose your desired document type, e.g. invoices (see step 4)
  • Select which of your templates you would like to use by default. Just as in step 5 shown the asterisk in default  at the desired template set (it will turn green). If the asterisk is set for Standard, this is automatically used for the respective documents.

When creating a document, e.g. a new invoice, you can always choose which template you want to use.  This means that you can upload several templates per document type and still use the standard template if necessary.
