A ticket format file is used by Interact as a template for generating printed or emailed transaction tickets. Use the Ticket Editor to create and modify ticket format files.

Multiple ticket formats can be created. Within the Interact program, a system default ticket is selected. Unless otherwise specified, all transaction tickets will print using the default ticket. A different ticket format file, that will override the system default ticket, can be selected for an individual account or truck.

This is a great way to import ticket format files used in older revisions of Interact.

titleTicket Extensions

Interact uses file extensions to perform different functions; the file extension will tell Interact if the ticket should print for an outbound transaction or an inbound transaction or an unattended transaction. Go to the Ticket Extensions page to learn more about ticket extensions.

System Default and Custom Ticket Designs (new page)

Other ticket files can be created and used as custom tickets. To use a specific ticket for a particular customer, truck, or truck type, design the ticket and give the ticket a meaningful name. Select the account, truck or truck type then select the custom ticket filename from the available drop-down list. Click the Image RemovedSave button to continue. To undo any changes click the Image RemovedUndo button.
