Edit the Cover Page ReportThe cover page makes you look pretty (or at least your proposal will!) This page takes information from a couple of different places:
- Custom Template – this is defined by your system administrator in Settings > Custom Templates
- Cover Page Image – you defined what picture will be used on the Setup > Cover Page Image tab of the proposal
- Note: If the custom template you choose has a full-page image, your custom page image might not appear as you expect.
At the top left of the preview window are a couple of adjustments you can make.
Custom Template – use the dropdown menu to see what your cover page might look like using a different custom template.
Proposal Details – there is a text box available where you can enter free-form text that will be printed on the proposal. All standard FileMaker text formatting options are available using the Format menu at the top of the screen. This text will be printed over the top of the cover page image you added during the setup step of the proposal. In our sample, the splash graphic was entered on the setup tab of the customer’s proposal as the cover page image. But the text above the splash graphic was manually entered here.
