Field Ticket Styles are used to customize the appearance of field tickets, override time & standard expense columns when used in different areas of the business, and to restrict the Equipment, Supplies, and Daily Rates that can be used in a field ticket.

 

The Style also determines when a signature can or must be entered for the Field Ticket and what happens when the signature is added.

 

Each Job Type is linked to a style so that all field tickets for that job type will have the same appearance.

 

On the Latitude ribbon, click 'Lookup Tables' and select 'Field Ticket Style Setup'.

 

71.3.2 Set Up Ticket Style

 

Ticket Style - enter a unique name to identify the ticket style.

 

Override Field Ticket Crew Time & Expense Work Types on each Style. Useful for companies that have several types of crews working on the same job. This overrides the "Display for All" flag, crew chief & survey assistant work types and column headings
