Using data sheets
Data sheets are Text templates specially designed to summarise all the important data for a record. They are available for many types of records:
Accounts and
Contact persons,
Events and
Event segments,
Items and
Staff,
Projects and
Workflows. Data sheets are also used in WebApps such as the time clocking WebApp, the Conference/Logistics WebApp or the Production WebApp.
Information on a record from different sources can also be formatted for diagrams or statistics, for example for use in a home page data sheet (dashboard) or for a presentation. Depending on the context, further options are available: ingredients can be calculated to the required quantity in recipe data sheetsM, or the data can be limited to a specific month in work time data sheetsM.
