Signal Tracks — purchase order template, Swiss grid layout, rendered from live data

Rendered by the same engine the API runs — this is the compiled output, not a mock-up.

What happens when your data replaces the sample

What Signal Tracks does when the data is longer, shorter or emptier than the sample:

Fixed page furnitureNever grows, never moves
heavy footer rule carrying the PO number and page folio (fixed height — nothing in it may grow)
Repeats per recordOne block per row of your data
order lines (table rows; header repeats on page break); meta cells wrap to further rows of four
Grows with your dataAbsorbs long values without breaking
supplier, bill-to and ship-to address blocks; receiving instructions; the numbered conditions of purchase
Pinned to every pageHolds position across page breaks
footer rule at page bottom on every page; the four column tracks and their hairlines hold their x-positions on every page
Order on the pageWhat sits after what
receiving note and totals stack after the table; conditions after those; authorisation band last
Page breaksWhat may split, what must not
the order table and the conditions list may split across pages; the totals stack and the authorisation band must not
Last pageHow the document ends
totals, receiving note, conditions and the authorisation band may occupy the final page alone — the band is drawn to sit directly under the top rule with no table above it, and the four tracks plus the footer rule carry the page

The pairing this design was drawn around, laid out as a Swiss grid on A4 portrait. Either face can be swapped in the editor — the layout holds on the grid, not on a font's metrics.
