Reports (window)
Settings > Reports
In the Reports window, templates can be created that are used for notifications, invoices, freight bills, package labels and printouts, for example. Information can be retrieved from different parts of Opter and added to the reports using tags (for example, a notification that “a shipment is on its way from <sender>”).
The reports are linked to notifications and printouts in different windows in Opter where they can then be generated manually or automatically.
