Cautionary Notes
Do not save changes until you have reviewed the layout carefully. Incorrect header settings can cause important information to display improperly on the cutsheet.
Be mindful that some fields, such as the job number, may be less useful depending on your workflow.
Ensure the selected fields align with your team’s reporting and identification needs before finalizing.
Tips for Efficiency
Use the preview feature after every major change to avoid rework.
Keep the header limited to the most useful fields so the cutsheet stays easy to read.
Standardize the layout across your team so everyone sees the same key information.
If you frequently need the same setup, document the preferred field order for quick future updates.
