FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can I save templates for the project views?
No. Currently the only place to save a Product Report Template is from the reports page on the Product Reporty tab.
Can I download the same expediting report columns that my DesignerAdvantage Project Manager sends me?
Yes! You will just need to add the respective columns you see, and make sure to include the "Expediting Order Status."
Why can't I edit or remove the Project Status Report Template?
That template is a standardized template on every user's account to help get designers started with creating templates. You do not have to use it, but that Product Report Template is unable to be removed.
