1. Which quotes are shown in the quote list?
The quote list view displays active quotes by default. To specify which quotes are considered active and shown in the list:
- Go to Settings > Site settings > Statuses
- Tick the In active list checkbox for all types of quotes that you want to show in the quotes list view.
2. Filtering and sorting the quotes
The quotes list can be filtered by projects, clients, categories, date ranges, and more.
Hover and click the column name to sort the list by quote number, owner, date, payer, project, etc.
You can save the updated view as a new bookmark or the default view.
3. Summary bar
Above the quote list, you'll find the summary bar, which provides an overview of the number of quotes made, their sum, margin, etc. Customize the summary bar according to your needs by using filters.
4. Managing the quotes
4.1. Viewing and modifying a quote
Hover over the quote name under the Quote | Project column to see an overview of the client and contact person details and a summary of the quoted products and services.
To view a quote, click on the quote name.
To modify a quote, click the icon next to the quote name.
Alternatively, open the quote detailed view first and then click the Modify button.
If the user has the appropriate permissions, they can view or modify quotes of other users, also issue quotes and orders on behalf of others. Permissions are granted by the site administrator.
4.2. Bulk commands
If you select at least one quote in the list, an additional bar will be displayed with bulk commands and exporting options.
One of the bulk commands is sending one or multiple quotes. If you have a client to whom you have issued multiple quotes, and all of them need to be sent over, you can do that from the Quote list view.
Click on the 'Send' button and choose if you want to send the selected quotes as a single file or separate files.
And the system will either combine all selected quotes into one PDF printout or add each quote printout separately:
4.3. Changing quote status
The status of the quote can easily be changed by clicking on it.
4.4. Creating an invoice from a quote
Use the invoice icon to create an invoice of the quote with just one click.
Or select multiple quotes in the list and create a single invoice for them all.
Note! If the quotes are linked to a project, then the invoice will use the Project on each document line feature and assign each document line the relevant project.
