QuoteValet Videos

QuoteValet supports videos for any document uploaded to QuoteValet.  The videos need to be uploaded to YouTube first and can then be displayed on the QuoteValet document.  Single or multiple videos can be displayed for a document as well as videos for individual line items.  QuoteValet also supports default videos for every type of document (quotes, orders, invoices) created in QuoteWerks so users do not have to remember to manually include videos on documents.    

YouTube Video Integration

The YouTube Video Integration enables users to pair QuoteValet with their YouTube account.  This integration will allow users to select videos for their QuoteValet documents that have already been uploaded to YouTube instead of having to manually copy and paste the video URL.  

Follow these instructions to pair YouTube account with QuoteValet Videos.

Default QuoteValet Video for New Documents

These settings enable users to set default single or multiple videos for new quotes, orders, and invoices created.  This is very useful if you are looking to include videos on every document created such as information about your company, ordering instructions, etc. When these defaults are set, these videos will automatically be associated with any new quote, order, or invoice that is created in QuoteWerks.  Users can remove them if needed, but will not have to remember to add them.    

1.Click on the button

2.Give a title for the video.  This title will appear on the QuoteValet document as the name of the video. F2 Lookup is supported in this field if you have defaults you want to setup and use.

3.Paste the YouTube URL into the Video URL field.  This URL needs to be a YouTube URL in order to operate properly.  F2 Lookup is also supported in this field.

4.If you would like the video to automatically start playing when the client views the document on QuoteValet, check the box for Auto-play.

5.To test the video, click on the Play Video button.
