Creating and editing copy orders

Project Portal provides a wizard to guide you through the steps of creating a copy order for a print house that you select. Like all other documents created by Project Portal, copy orders can have more than one type. For the names and purposes of the copy order types defined in your workspace, consult with a system administrator.
