Create Reports Using The App
Disponível para:
Add texts, images, data, signatures and export the report as a PDF file using the Reports section from CountThings from Photos app.
When using the Reports feature, you can design your own layout, by adding various fields such as: address, company logo, title, data about the object, a picture of the counted products, a space for signing or the date of the report.
! It’s important to know that our Report feature is linked with the Form feature – this simply means that you can create a Report using data from a Form, or you can create it from scratch, without using already existing Form Data.
