Frequently Asked Questions

This collection of FAQs (frequently asked questions) lists some useful tips for using time tracking and invoice generation.

Time Tracking

What does "suspend time tracker" do?

The pawn is removed from the board, and no further time is recorded until it is placed back on a field again. This also means that no amount of time will appear in a report.

Generating Invoices

My logo is squeezed in the PDF, how do I fix this?

In the Layout in the main part of the source code view, adjust the height accordingly so that the width-to-height ratio is correct. For example, the logo has a width of 349 pixels by 180 pixels. Using the following calculation:

78 * 180 / 349 = 40.22..

you can determine height="40", which, when entered, displays the logo in the PDF (almost) without squeezing.

How do I print a different date format in the PDF?

In the layout, variables are replaced with their values, with date values ​​being printed in a date format (e.g., 1.4.2025) using the following syntax:

{{ data.invoiceDate | date("d.m.Y") }}

As documented here in the Twig API, characters from the table can also be used instead of "d.m.Y" to change the date format.

If 01.04.2025 was entered for the Invoice Date under Positions top right and specified in the layout:

{{ data.invoiceDate | date("Y-M-D") }}

then 2025-04-01 will be printed in the PDF.

Which fonts are available?

In the Layout in the main body of the source code view, the font for the entire PDF is defined as follows:

body {
  font-family: FreeSans;
  font-size: 14px;
}

where font-family specifies the font and font-size the font size. Currently available alternatives for the font are:

Special fonts are also available for other languages ​​(e.g., Japanese, Creole, Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew), and additional fonts can be made available upon request.

How do I set a larger left margin?

In the Layout, in the main body, in the source code view, add a <div class="content"> below <body> and close it again with </div> below </body>. Then insert the following into the <style> area at the top:

.content {
  padding: 0 0 0 3rem;
}

And you now have a larger margin on the left.

The invoices now look good on my PC. How do I generate them on my smartphone?

Invoice settings can be exported to a file on the PC and then imported onto the smartphone, or you can pair both devices, and the invoice settings will be synchronized. The invoices generated on the PC will then appear on the smartphone by selecting the invoice number and can also be generated there.

I want to add my signature to the PDF. How do I do that?

In the layout in the main body of the source code view, insert the following line at the appropriate location (below Kind regards,
):

<img src="{{ data.assets[1] }}" width="126" height="58"/><br/>

and insert the scanned signature under "Import image." If necessary, adjust the value under height as described above.

⚠️ Note: The signature inserted in the image can easily be copied from the PDF and pasted elsewhere – it is therefore not recommended to paste your signature!

How do I delete the data from a generated invoice?

In the Export, Import and Reset dialog, you can clean up all invoice data or remove individual invoice data from the browser/device based on the invoice number. All invoice data can also be exported to a file and imported again here. Deletions are not transferred to paired devices, so deletion is required on both sides, otherwise the deleted invoice data will be resynchronized.
