Stationery

Stationery defines the format and content of printed documents in Smile. When you select the stationery to use for a document, Smile enters the required information into the document and displays it in the correct format.

Stationery can have different formats and content to suit different situations. For example, an organisation that owns several companies may have a different layout for each company's receipts. Alternatively, a company may have different content on an initial invoice and a reminder invoice.

The account package defines the default stationery available to an account. To view or change the stationery available to an account, see the account's Branding page.

Your Smile administrators may define stationery for the following document types:
  • account
  • bond
  • invoice
  • itemised credit
  • journal
  • payment
  • receipt
  • recipient created tax invoice
  • renewal
  • statement
  • subscription
  • surcharge
  • ticket
  • usage alert

By default, Smile generates documents in PDF format. You can also configure Smile to produce documents in Excel format (.xls).

Note: For more information about configuring stationery, see the Configuration Guide.
