On all documents you enter in Clooz you should be entering the name in the details section as the name appears on the document. The purpose is to transcribe the document as you actually see it, without any judgements made on your part. > > 2.

You use the remarks section to record items for that person that there are no fields for in the template, or to make notes to yourself. Each document details screen pertains to one person only. This is a temporary e-mail address.
