Troubleshooting & Tips

Here are a few items to note if you run into issues.

1. If you save the layout to your Business Type, but when you start a New Ticket it does not load. Please go to Settings -> Parameters and make sure your 'Main Business Type' is the same as the one you saved your layout to.

2. If you make a mistake on the Layout setup, please just close out that ticket window and start back from Scratch.  Nothing is saved until you actually 'Save to Database'.

3. If you are designing a new layout on a different PC\Network from the one you actually wish to put the layout on.  Instead of saving the layout to the database, you can choose, Save to File.  This will let you write the layout template to a file and then move that file to the PC you wish to upload it to.  In that case you would then Load from File to load the layout and then Save to Database on that PC.
