Add static information to transaction forms with footers

Footers allow you to add static information to one or more transaction forms. Footers are distinctly different from custom fields, because they are intended for:

  • Information that does not usually change from one transaction to the next, such as standard terms and conditions
  • Content that may be common to several transaction types, like banking details, approval signature blocks, or statements about industry certifications. (Once a footer has been created for one transaction type, it can be copied for another type.)
