Getting Started with Printing and Templates

Customize your store's shelf labels, invoices, quotes, customer statements, and pick lists all within the GT Backend. While a set of default templates are provided, some users choose to create their own design using the template manager. There are two type of templates available.

• Visual Editor Templates. Part of GlobalTill's new template system, the visual editor is a convenient tool equipped with a drag-and-drop editor. For more information, see the article Getting Started with the Visual Template Editor
• Microsoft Word Templates. GlobalTill's legacy template system, Microsoft Word templates use  a set of predefined variables to create templates in Microsoft Word. While we have no plans to discontinue Word templates, we recommend using the visual editor. For more information about creating a label in Word, see the article How to create shelf labels using Microsoft Word.
