Editing a receipt body
You edit a receipt body when you want to change, for example, the order in which columns are presented and to change the fonts.
When you edit the receipt body, it's recommended to work with actual data from a receipt printed in your system because data content can be very different depending on system settings.
Receipt Builder needs to know the root folder for all receipt files to locate project files, such as images, headers and footers. When you open a standard receipt project from its default location it recognizes the path and automatically selects a root folder. If you have saved the receipt files in a different folder, the Select root folder for receipt files browser is opened.
Important
Remember to save often to make sure you don't lose any changes.
Tip
When you drag an element from the navigation pane and hover over the receipt, an indicator shows you where the new element is going to be added.
A blue rectangle appears around an object when it's selected.
A black line at the top of an element indicates that the new element is going to be added above the existing element.
A black line at the bottom of an element indicates that the new element is going to be added below the existing element.
A gray row indicates that the new element is going to be added on the same row as the existing element.
It's not always possible to drop an element on the same row as another element.
