Tip o' the Month

A very useful feature of Artsystems software is a Transaction Detail by Contact report. Run and print to review history of Offers to specific customer, for example, or Shipments to a specified location or locations. See our how-to document for step-by-step instructions.

Bonus Tip

It's been a while since the last Newsletter, so we thought we owed at least another Tip. Artsystems software includes a Glossary feature, for saving off-used or 'boilerplate' blocks of text that can be quickly pasted into Transaction Documents, letters, or other editable labels or reports. Of course this text can also be edited once on the document. This saves lots of time typing and in making sure the text is accurate in each use. See our how-to document for this feature for the steps involved.
