Project Configuration
Settings can be changed for every project. Project configuration can be found in the admin area of a project under "InstaPrinta". All fields will initially be grey. The settings can be changed via activating the check box for project configuration for this project. If the checkmark is not selected, it will default to global InstaPrinta configuration. Most settings of global configuration can be edited for every individual project.
Templates
The elements in the issue view, marked with colored circles, are partially part of the existing templates or can be used to create new templates. Apache FOP is used to transform templates in XSL-FO format (in a special XSL style sheet, W3C-Standard) for direct printing or .pdf creation.

Existing sample templates
InstaPrinta comes with a series of sample templates. They are available automatically at first installation and can be activated for use. If the templates have been deleted, they may also be installed again via the template management in the global configuration interface. If there are templates with the same name, they will never be overwritten. Templates with the same names will need to be deleted manually in template management before a new installation.
These templates contain some elements form the issue view (above) and can be identified by the colored circles and numbers.
