 * Sprout Invoices version Version 11.1
 * Attempting to install the free version of the plugin for presentation for a client
   before they decide to buy. Installation into the proposed site has proven to 
   be difficult at best with document of valid shortcodes elusive or incorrect?
 * Attempted to press the help button from the WP Admin panel and ended up on a 
   documentation page for Scout help.
 * Short, other than my rant – is a list of current shortcodes available?

 * Hello,
 * The free version doesn’t require/have shortcodes. Instead there is an invoice
   and estimate template already designed and included.
 * Here is some documentation on customizations: [http://docs.sproutapps.co/article/38-customizing-templates](http://docs.sproutapps.co/article/38-customizing-templates)
 * Here’s a free design: [https://sproutapps.co/marketplace/slate-free-invoice-estimate-template-design/](https://sproutapps.co/marketplace/slate-free-invoice-estimate-template-design/)
 * Hopefully when directed to a documentation page you were sent here: [http://docs.sproutapps.co/collection/1-sprout-invoices](http://docs.sproutapps.co/collection/1-sprout-invoices)
 * If I can help with anything else please let me know.

 * Thank you for your reply.
 * Think maybe (?) the issue I am encountering with the free version is that the
   client dashboard page was not created automatically? When I go to create a page–
   there is no Sprout template available in the drop down list of templates. Should
   there be?
 * Again, thank you for your time and assistance.

 * Hello,
 * The client dashboard is a feature for the pro version. Here is the documentation–
   [http://docs.sproutapps.co/article/36-client-dashboards](http://docs.sproutapps.co/article/36-client-dashboards)
 * If/when you purchase the pro version you would simply add a shortcode, you don’t
   need to select a particular page template.

 * Understand that. In the free version how is the customer permitted access to 
   the functions of the dashboard? Are they not? Perhaps I misunderstood your original
   reply regarding templates.
 * If there are templates available, how are they assigned if not available in the
   drop down list of pages during page creation?
 * At this point, before convincing someone to buy, trying to understand, if it 
   possible, for them to see and gain and idea of what they are getting.

 * Hello,
 * The free version doesn’t have a dashboard, so there’s no access to be given.
 * The links for customizations were given because I had thought you wanted to customize
   the invoice/estimate templates.
 * By default there is a single estimate/invoice template, and overriding that template
   can be done though your theme (this is how the Slate theme works).
 * If you wanted to create multiple templates, maybe you want to provide a different
   invoice/estimate template per client, than you can use “Multiple Custom Templates”,
   which is documented here – [http://docs.sproutapps.co/article/38-customizing-templates](http://docs.sproutapps.co/article/38-customizing-templates)
 * Maybe to better help you, you can let me know what you’re trying to do, than 
   I can explain what’s needed.
 * Thanks.
