    • To set up a filename for estimates, enter the appropriate key in the Estimate field.
    • To set up a filename for invoices, enter the appropriate key in the Invoice field.
    • To set up a filename for statements, enter the appropriate key in the Statement field.

Note: When you send an estimate, invoice, or statement by email, the subject of your email shows information in the same format matching the filename format you have entered in the Preferences. If no format is chosen, then the subject of your email says "Estimate" for estimates, "Invoice" for invoices, and "Statement" for statements.
