Layout Tab |
|
The Layout Tab displays the layouts used to create the customer facing document and deliver it to the customer by printing, emailing, saving as a PDF, or uploading to QuoteValet. The layout tab also includes a [Preview] button to preview what the document would look like before sending to the client. Additionally, this tab includes the Submit for Peer Review and Request Approval buttons for sales reps to initiate peer reviews and document approvals.
Primary Subtab
The Primary Subtab displays the available layouts. Only one layout can be selected from the Primary tab for each quote or proposal. To select a layout, click on the checkbox next to the layout name or by clicking on the layout name. Once selected it will be added to the selection panel on the right hand-side of the Deliver window. Double-clicking on the layout will merge and preview just that layout file (even if you have Covers, Literature, Spec Sheets, or Links attached) so you can view what it would look like before previewing the entire document.
When you click on a layout on the Primary subtab, all other layouts are de-selected. This makes it easy to change layouts as needed and not have to worry about remembering to change the layouts from the Additional subtab. Also, the layout selected as the primary layout is the one that determines different behavior if a purchase order layout is selected as the primary layout. In that case it would then make the "Create PO for each vendor" checkbox visible. Finally, it disables the Save print selections in document.
Filter By
The filter section will let you filter layouts by document type. By default, the filter will automatically display the document type open in QuoteWerks. For example, if you have a quote document open, it will default to the "Quote" filter. However, you can view other types of layouts by clicking on the filter buttons such as Order, Invoice, Sales Order, and Purchase Order. Microsoft Word templates that are setup for Word Merging will also appear under the correct filter (quote, order, invoice, etc) based on the folder in which they were setup.
There are Access Rights that limit users from viewing different document types. Only the documents users are allowed to view will display in their Layout tab and each corresponding filter selection.
Filter Buttons
All - Will display all layout types available in QuoteWerks
Quote - Will only display quote layouts
Order - Will only display order layouts
Invoice - Will only display invoice layouts
Sales Order - Will only display sales order layouts
Purchase Order - Will only display purchase order layouts
Setting Default Layouts
Users can specify a default layout for quotes, orders and invoices. This setting can only be applied to a single layout under each document type under the Primary tab. This is very useful if you use the same layout for the majority of your documents in QuoteWerks so you do not have to manually select it each time you create a new quote, order, or invoice.
To set a default layout, open a document type that you want to set a default (e.g. if you want to set your default quote layout, open a quote document). Right-click on the layout that you wish to set as your default and the menu option Set as Default for 'Quote's will become available. For this setting to take affect, you will need to close the Deliver window and any QuoteWerks documents you currently have open. You can repeat this step for orders and invoices as long as you open that file type (e.g. if you want to set a default order layout, open an order document in QuoteWerks).

Additional Subtab
The Additional Subtab allows users to add multiple layouts to the open quote or proposal. This is extremely useful if you wanted to create a document that includes a list of line items and then on a different layout only display the summaries of the sections divided by item type. Using the layouts in this manner provides flexibility for customizing the output to clients.
To add one or more additional layout(s) to your selections, click on the checkbox next to the layout name(s). You can add as many additional layouts as needed on the Additional Subtab.
Selections Panel
The selections panel is located on the right-hand side of the Print, Share, Publish, Deliver Document window. This panel displays all of your current selections from the Cover Page, Layout, Literature, Spec Sheet, and Links tabs.
This panel allows you to reorder the selected documents, edit a selection, remove a selection, and clear the selections:
- Move selections up or down. The documents in the selection panel are combined into a single PDF document. The orders is a top down format and this option allows you to organize the order in which your documents will be displayed to your client in the PDF file.
- Modify an existing selection. This option will only apply to cover pages, literature, and spec sheet documents. If you want to modify a layout, highlight the layout and click Edit on the Primary or Additional subtab.
- Remove the highlighted selection.
- Remove all selections from the selection panel.
Save Print Selections in Document
This option, when checked, will remember your print selections for the current open document in QuoteWerks. Whichever selections you made, the next time you open this document in QuoteWerks your selections will already be set for that specific document, even if they are not your default settings. Uncheck this box and QuoteWerks will not remember your original selections.
If the last layout used with the open document is missing, a message will be displayed in the status bar of QuoteWerks.
When you select a purchase order type of print layout, the “Create PO for each Vendor” checkbox will appear above the list of layouts. If you check this box, QuoteWerks will look at each line item in your document and create a separate purchase order for each unique vendor name as it appears in the vendor column of the quote. QuoteWerks will look in the vendor list (Utilities -> Vendor Maintenance menu) for that vendor name to obtain the vendors address, phone number, etc. and place it on the purchase order. See Quotes, Orders, Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, and Invoices for details on printing purchase orders.
